Disinterest

i'm sorry but deleting a post for "disinterest" should not be a thing
especially in the case of a caption that tries to stay in lore of the piece of media it portrays, because to enjoy it you need to know the series, and disinterest is not an objective criteria, Posts should not be deleted on accounts of personal feelings towards it, it should always be objective reasons

which mod was it?

3 mods. If I'm not mistaken, disinterest is a general term for when a piece isn't bad enough to be marked for deletion, but at the same time not quite good enough for a mod to approve it staying on the site. Stuff that goes unapproved for a period of time is removed automatically.

The post in question had 3 mods look at it according to the log, and none of them seemed to want to approve it, hence the disinterest reason and eventual removal. It's a little lame when you read it, but at the same time, it's not just that one mod didn't like it so it's gone, it went through a few of them.

You can appeal the post deletion, but yes, if multiple moderators/approvers/admins express disinterest in a post and none of them approve it then it'll be deleted.
Ultimately all the criteria for post approval are arbitrary, even if we attempt to provide guidelines about what is likely to see a post approved. When setting up the new site, Danbooru's fairly stringent approach to content was a positive factor in me choosing it over other software.

As someone who isn't heavily into booru backend and stuff, and only used them as a consumer, can someone explain these differences? I've used danbooru, gelbooru, and sankaku before, and noticed in terms of post amounts it tends to go sankaku>gelbooru>danbooru. I always just figured it was based on just popularity or so on, but it seems that isn't the case.

I mean, disinterest should be the least of things to matter, it feels a bit of a selfish and arbitrary decision. If anything I could say I'm disinterested in Nazi and Loli edits and delete both because I don't really like them.

I agree. It's a poor and very arbitrary method of deletion that ultimately hampers people's incentives to produce content. If it's not bad or it's not against the rules, it should be approved. "Not quite tickling the fancy" of some mods that day isn't really good enough as a measure of approval that's skewed far too heavily to the tastes of mods rather than quality of uploads; the latter of which should be the focus.
