What, if any, course of action can be taken when a gallery item gets deleted
wrongfully? I ask this question because I recently uploaded some scans for the
anime You're Under Arrest. I had an image that was a duplicate of one already
posted except mine is over 1,000,000 pixels larger. I posted my version and
sent a report on the other, smaller scan. In the report I stated that the scan
was a smaller version of the larger scan I had recently uploaded. I even
provided a clickable link to my recent upload instead of just pasting the
address. Twenty or so minutes later I got a notification that my scan was
deleted for being an exact duplicate of a previously posted image. That is just
not true. My submission was significantly larger and the quality was on the
same level as the pre-existing scan. I tried one more time to upload the larger
scan I had and made sure to note in the description that it was a larger version
of the scan previously posted. I even did the math for everyone to see how much
bigger my submission is. I'll give you a dollar if you can guess how long it
was before that submission was also wrongfully deleted. I say wrongfully
because according to Minitokyo Policy, if the scan is larger, you can submit it.
Here is the section of MT Policy I am referring to:
"You may not post the material, if it has already been posted in the
Minitokyo galleries, unless it is of much better quality, or is much larger in
dimensions. "
I would say that a difference in size of more than one million qualifies.
Especially considering that one million is the minimum size required for scan
submissions. You could say I had a whole other scan's worth of difference
between my submission and the one already there.
If anyone has any idea as to why my larger scan can not be submitted then please
tell me.
If the Minitokyo community would prefer to use smaller scans to make their
wallpapers than perhaps some rewriting of the policy is in order. Let me know
if you would prefer smaller scans that way I can size down all my future
submissions. If you are extra nice, I'll even reduce the dpi on the scans that
way you can work with small, blocky images instead of large, smooth looking
scans.
elessar007, if you have complaints about moderation, there are existing threads
on which you can post if you wish to vent and share your frustration. However,
if you truly wish to resolve the issue, I highly suggest that instead of
creating a thread that you contact the moderators directly by submitting a
Support Inquiry on the issue.
Please link to a copy of the submission in question (hosted on an external site)
and the existing submission in your inquiry so the moderator who processes your
inquiry knows what you're talking about.
Thank you shinsengumi for your suggestion. I have submitted an inquiry and have
high hopes that my questions will be answered and this matter will be resolved.
Ah...it did the same thing....my friend gave me a pic that he made to his gf at
the time...and then it got deleted for some reason like...they got a better
pic...but then it was made from like sketching....but it's good that my friend
deosn't mind...so I didn't really bother with it...
Ok, I'm turning this thread http://forum.minitokyo.net/showthread/11208/
into the official thread for ALL complaints about deleted images. If you want to
complain, go there. Closed.

Well, I got a prompt and reasonable response from my support inquiry. Though I may disagree with the stated reasons, they were logical and legitimate.
