Just a few posts back I posted a graphic showing over a third of the ladies on the top 96 trending were paid models. People are, rightly, gonna be pissed off for uploading like for like content and it being rejected, especially when there's a reward system attached to it.
I can understand that, but it's not as "random" as some make it seem. Most of the stuff that is rejected is for a good reason, and more often than not, the problem is that too much stuff is accepted when it shouldn't (especially pros). Most of those inconsistancies come from the fact that mods can't fully know all pro models and even the tools are our disposal aren't perfect at detecting them or others things. Add the fact some subjectivty can come into play for some items (quality and age mostly) and you necessarily end up with some errors or disparities.
Now I do also think that if all mods used systematic reverse search engines, many of the pros (or even cropped pics) you can easily identify in the galleries would not have gone through. But I also wonder how many users would then complain that the moderating time are super long (and they're already pretty long).
As for subjectivity, with the current system, there isn't much we can do, other than intense training to uniformise each mods appreciations, which seems very disproportionate for such a site and people who just mod for free. A consensus system could help reduce it, but that means developing a new system.

Again I agree with some of what you're saying but I think that's grasping at straws to be honest. A poll hidden away in a forum most users won't see probably isn't representative of the true feelings of all people don't complain, so you can assume for every 4 complaints you see there's 96 others who felt the same but didn't voice their experience. I'm not suggesting a majority of uploaders are unhappy but just pointing out that the poll probably doesn't represent the WBW community.
Oh I didn't intend to show that as a general representative data. It was just a quick example that even on a thread that is about moderation complaints/frustration, you could actually find an opposite trend within the poll itself. I wouldn't hold that poll to be representative of the community, just like I wouldn't take the few people complaining as the general consensus.
It ends up being a matter of taking the constructive criticism, see if things can be improved/clarified but you can't please everyone anyway, especially those who end up arguing in bad faith or want the site to become something it isn't.
