Data mod: "I personally find the current image more appealing"

Why is this sort of response permitted on a wiki that accepts and expects USERS to create anime, manga, and character entries with their own images and descriptions?

Images should go on a vote linked on the character page, in the spirit of user-submitted content, saves time for mods reviewing images and removes personal bias from moderators.

Agree 100% !!!

If its only up to a mod, then there's gonna be absolute bias.
I can think of quite a couple times where a good number of
people were annoyed with a character's changed profile pic.
Dazai is the biggest example that comes to mind.

This idea makes so much more sense.
I hope this goes through.

I COMPLETELY agree with you, but I'm just dying laughing at the way their note was worded too-

"I personally find the ~current image~ more appealing."

But yeah they really gotta find a better way to eliminate the bias cause that's a really crappy reason to reject an entry...

  yeah the bias is pretty apparent in that rejection lol

yep. a lot of the times characters will just have straight up UGLY profile pictures and even if they're my favorite... sometimes i dont even wanna have that picture on my profile. it just being based on mods personal opinions isn't fun at all

  Maybe being able to choose which image is displayed for the character as well out of the submitted ones, for your own profile.

First of all, I would like to apologize to the recipient on the behalf of the team. With our current restrictions regarding character images, there are bound to be bias with what gets accepted - it’s only in our nature.

We currently don’t plan on implementing a voting system. Instead, we ask users to resubmit the image explaining why it should be uploaded over the current image in their submission notes. There has been instances where a simply explanation changed a data mod’s opinion.
