Age verification scam alert!

I've just been tagged in a fake staff post, stating that I need to verify my age by giving my information in a link.

The post:

There are several tells that make the post suspicious.

The username tumbler24132. Tumblr uses the username staff for their important announcements, not a random misspelled account name worh many numbers.

There is only one post on the account, being the post shown.

There are two accounts mass tagging random people in the comments with similar pictures and usernames that could be seen as official. Tumblr does not randomly mass tag people.

This is an insidious attempt to prey upon vulnerable people who don't know this is a scam.

Rule of thumb: NEVER give out your personal info online, even to official apps such as Discord. IDs in official apps have been leaked multiple times before, and scams from unofficial links have lead to lives being ruined.

EDIT: Added screenshot of the post comments

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Looks like a new version of this scam is going around. It looks like this:

It looks deceivingly official at first until you see that the username is ALSO just a string of random numbers. Of course I didn’t bother clicking the “complete now” link. I know it’s obviously something that’s going to require you to enter your personal information.

Furthermore, the comments on this post are just full of random people being tagged. The official tumblr staff would never do something this unprofessional

So yeah, if you get a notification like this from an account that’s just a bunch of random numbers, block them IMMEDIATELY. I’ve already had to block THREE accounts like this. In one night :/

In light of recent events, I have begun submitting bug reports when I see mature content labels applied inappropriately to posts, especially if an appeal has been rejected.

a-kind-of-merry-war

Extremely good idea - how are you doing it? Through the contact us option?

stjohnstarling

Yeah it’s one of the options on the Contact Support form:

for what it's worth: after a few months of submitting help tickets as 'feedback' when i saw a post inappropriately flagged as mature, i tried following this suggestion instead. today i got my first-ever response from tumblr support on this issue, letting me know that a post i'd submitted a ticket before has had its mature content flag removed.

stjohnstarling

Hey it worked! Maybe if enough of us make a stink they’ll fix the fucking system.

This is legitimately brilliant. Bug burndown reports (the rate at which your software team can close bugs) is a major metric for most software houses.

It takes an extra step in our part, but this is part of what makes it effective. It's not one click, one reblog activism and it hits them where they care: their damn KPIs.

it’s funny bc I think I have a lot to learn, with blindspots that I’m still trying to fill in by reading more and talking to people etc, but when I’m hanging around certain family members I suddenly become The Wokest Person Alive just by merit of having made some attempt to not be shitty. and this isn’t level 3 discourse like “conflating submissiveness with a preference for bottoming is misogynistic”, it’s basic shit like “no, health is not a state of mind, and sick people are sick for reasons beyond bad attitude,” and “no, you should not loudly talk about how shocked you were that a Nigerian man was at grandma’s funeral,” and “please don’t say that about Jewish people,” and so on.

and usually they are willing to listen when I talk about this stuff, so there is a benefit to me being there, but holy crap is it a tonal shift going from online to real life.

not to be a pervert or anything but media should have more sex in it

k1ntsug1-r0b0t-g1rl

but seriously why is it ok that i can watch an extended, minutes long animated scene of someone having their guts pulled out through their abdomen but even alluding to sex is seen as spicy

k1ntsug1-r0b0t-g1rl

you can fantasise about extreme acts of violence and death but the moment you get excited about sex you must be a horrible pervert

k1ntsug1-r0b0t-g1rl

actually i think being horny is a valid feeling and more art should make you horny

[Video description: Gritty is turning the crank on a flagpole to raise the Progress Pride Flag. He gesticulates angrily that the flag is not blowing in the wind, then gestures offscreen. The flag begins blowing. As Gritty begins raising the flag more, the camera pans out to show a man in a suit and sunglasses, looking like a stern Secret Service agent, is holding a leafblower that points at the flag. End description.]

I think the thing that annoys me most about AI on a personal, day to day, level is what it has done to grammar checkers. If you've never done a lot of editing, or used to 5+ years ago but haven't really in the last couple years, I can't even begin to describe how fucking BAD this shit has gotten. And as an author it is EXHAUSTING.

I just want to catch spelling errors and accidental double spaces and repeated phrases and whenever I use the wrong too/to or affect/effect and shit. But no. They've shoved AI up the ass of every grammar checking software out there and now they all fucking suck and make the most random, obnoxious, nonsensical suggestions.

And yeah, I can ignore all the times it's trying to get me to cut out any semblance of my own voice, or shove things into the wrong tense, or make the most random suggestions on comma usage. But if it's getting all that WRONG, what is it just straight up missing that I SHOULD be correcting? What real spelling and grammar errors are still lurking in there?

"Use Libre Office."

I get why people keep saying this (and other versions of it like "Use Adobe alternatives" and "Use Google product alternatives."). But here's the problem: I do not create in isolation. Even my own 100% personal projects are getting sent to other people whether it's editors or printers or beta readers and unless every single person in that train is using the same products, things can get wonky.

Libre Office and Word handle formatting differently on the back end, which can completely break documents if you move them back and forth between the two. So if I write in Libre Office but my beta readers are still using Word, when I send them a manuscript for review there's a good chance things won't look right and my beta reader will not actually be reviewing what I sent them.

Industry standards are industry standards FOR A REASON. Having everyone on the same workflow can be crucial to getting things done effectively and correctly without creating a lot of extra work. And those things are not going to change overnight, as much as we might want them to.

Yeah, Word, let me just leave this whole chunk of dialogue without the closing quotation marks. That's the thing to do. How dare I have two punctuation marks in a row. It's not like that's how closing quotation marks fucking work.

I am going to light something on fire.

And you know, for young writers, this has got to be so detrimental just from the perspective of opening your document and seeing a million corrections that, frankly, don't need to be there. If you're a young writer you're likely not going to have the background knowledge to know what is and isn't a good suggestion, you're just going to see a document that makes it look like you made every mistake possible so clearly you must be a terrible, stupid writer and should just give up.
