Hmm...either I am just too untrained in eying flaws. I say it is okay. Sure not the best but average. I mean we all seen bad and this isn't bad.

Looks nice, the colouring is solid and smooth, I can't see any technical flaws and the pic is very cute.

How is this "Way below avarage quality, surely not up to danbooru standards"? can someone explain this to me, because I don't know why?

This is about the average quality. Though I'm not sure if it's up to "avarage" quality.

If anything, this is simply simple_background, and a slightly high color contrast.

Probably just another nit-picking user who flagged this.

To explain my last point, I made changed a bit to contrast/saturation/lightness: http://tinyurl.com/3tvzxgh

The user trying to delete the post seems to just dislike the artist's style. There's nothing wrong with the quality, at least in the way that Danbooru defines quality: There are no artifacts and the file size is not needlessly large.

There's really no need to debate whether or not it's of "quality" or not.

All flagging a image does is send it to the mod queue.
If another mod decides that he/she likes it,they'll reapprove it and boom,no problem.

If not,then it gets deleted.You can easily save it onto your harddrive before that happens,or go on another booru type site and find it there.

Either way,no point in having this discussion every time an image gets flagged.

I'm pretty sure most people know this.

When someone marks a post for deletion with a highly ambiguous reason, it's going to start up a discussion.

Besides, this was uploaded by a contributor, so (even though he probably didn't) anyone complaining can just see it as going through inspection.

I rather like this image myself, but then I like most of this artist's work.

It looks fine.

No idea what's "way below average quality" about it...
