Regarding such appeals and comments: It would be a REALLY good idea to write a flag reason with the following: "Posts with similar quality from that artist are already deleted".
If you can write that into an appeal, then it should also be able for flags.

This only underlines how stupid this argument to appeal a post is

I've used this type of reasoning a couple times in both flags and appeals, and they've typically gone through. This is the first time I've ever seen anyone complain about it.
Likewise, if people shouldn't start drama over flags, they shouldn't start drama over appeals, either.

@feline_lump The logic looks just backwards to me. If a post can be appealed with saying that it is the artist's style (or whatever), then I don't see any reason against flagging a post for such a reason: "Similar work of this artist has been deleted. Please quality check this post, too". In short, I don't consider this as a valid flag reason at all. But it should illustrate that this appeal reason is not great, too: It's really bad. Of course appeals are more open and less restrictive, but maybe one should think over what I mentioned here^^.

...I don't see what's so bad about it, though. Whenever people use the "there are worse posts on the site" defense, the stock response is "flag them, then". But now actually doing that is also invalid?
Consistent quality standards aren't a bad thing. If there's no meaningful quality difference between a set of posts, then it stands to reason that they should be treated similarly. I've only ever seen it as a problem if the justification is flimsy, like with most "there are worse posts" appeals, which could be referring to posts from 2005 for all we know.
(Although I don't think the appeal works in this context. There's a rather noticeable mistake with the neck/collarbone placement that doesn't occur in most of the artist's works.)

@feline_lump One does not need to bring up an argument that gets debunked with the same reason every time. That's destructive in the end, since it doesn't help.

My point is that it doesn't get debunked. It's gone through just fine until now. I'd like to ask for you to refrain from insulting appealers, especially ones who aren't violating any rules.
