Special Text Formatting
Please donāt use font colors, tumblrās optional āquoteā, āchatā, or āLucilleā fonts, tumblrās Header font style, or excessive bolding or italics, or generated text such as zalgo text or āfancy styled fontsā.
Confessions in colored font, the above tumblr fonts, or excessive bolding or italics will be posted as unformatted text posts. Some colored text is alright, but full paragraphs will be posted as unformatted text posts.
Confessions in generated text will not be posted. [EG Zalgo text] Confessions in typing quirks, such as homestuck typing quirks, are permitted.
Please do not make the name(s) and source signatures text extra small, bolded, italicized, or colored. I cannot read small fonts very well.

Custom tags are meant for tracking a series of confessions, or checking if a confession has been posted yet. They are only for anonymous confessions. If you send a non anonymous confession with a custom tag, it will be private replied. Please feel free to resend it.
Custom tags will go in the third tag placement if you wish to track your tag in the search index.
Custom tags will also be used in a personās Ask Response.
A custom tag can be almost anything, such as:Ā
a word or short sentence [eg #GreenCatMage]
a random jumble of characters and numbers [#EonGame99]
a single or multiple emoji [#āā
ā]
a mix of emojis in addition to words [#sixās]

The first example has a signature and no custom tag. The second example has a signature and custom tag, which will go into the tag used for the kinfession. The third example has no signature, one custom tag, and two suggested tags which will be used for the kinfession. Suggested tags could be names, source titles, content warnings, or general search result tags such as shipping issue, seekin, etc
#2 How do I use a custom tag?
Please place a custom tag at the start or end of an ask message. A custom tag needs a #hashtag at the start of the custom tag so we know itās meant to be a tag.Ā
Some words arenāt permitted for custom tags. Before using a custom tag, please check:
if a custom tag is not already taken by someone else
if itās a fandom tag - eg character name, ship name, source name, etc
if itās a slur or derogatory word or variations thereof
if itās a common search term - blanket, full moon, landscapes, etc
These are not permitted to use in custom tags.
CUSTOM TAGS CANNOT BE BLOG URLS. EVER. NOT HOARDED SIDE BLOG URLS OR INACTIVE BLOGS OR IN USE AFTER A CUSTOM TAG HAS BEEN MADE OR ANY VARIATION THEREUPON. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS IN ANY CASE AT ALL EVER. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE BLOG URL IS OWNED BY AN ALTERHUMAN PERSON OR A SYSTEM.
#3 Why was my custom tag rejected?
Most commonly because it was someoneās blog url. Otherwise it could be something from the above list of prohibited words.Ā
If a custom tag is unusable, it will be posted as a Text Post and given the tag #customtag. If you donāt see your confession appear within 3 days, please check the #customtag tag. If you donāt see it in that tag, please send a message with the custom tag so we can try tracking it down.
Additionally, please only use only one custom tag per confession. You may use multiple custom tags for your kintypes or source, if your System members want their own custom tags, and so forth. Only the first tag in a series of tags will be used as a tag.
#4 Can I reserve custom tags?
No, sorry, we donāt allow reserving, hoarding, or earmarking custom tags. If you want to use a custom tag, please check if itās available, and please go ahead and use it in a confession.
#5 Whatās the difference between a signature and a custom tag and a suggested tag?
Both custom tags and signatures consist of a name, emoji, word, or combination thereof that is used to sign off a kinfession. The difference being a hashtag is used at the start of a custom tag to indicate it should be used as a tag. If there is no hashtag, but I wonāt know to use it as a tag.
A suggested tag is a tag recommending the use of specific source, name, Content Warning, or other tags.Ā
Such suggested tags arenāt required, but are appreciated if itās about an obscure source, or specific Content Warnings that may not be apparent.Ā
#6 What if I want to change my custom tag? Can you delete my customtag confessions?
I would suggest simply using a new custom tag. If you want to make sure anyone familiar with your custom tag, send in a few kinfessions with the new and the old tag, then start using only the new tag. Please do let us know if youāre switching a tag.
Sorry, I canāt. Thereās no way for me to know if itās actually you requesting it to be deleted, or someone pretending to be you. If you have sent something off anon and want it deleted, please message us from the blog that sent it.
#7 Wait, I forgot to add the hashtag to my custom tag! Can you add a custom tag to this confession?
If you do, or arenāt sure, please send a message in as soon as you can with keywords so we know which is your confession, and what custom tag to add. The follow up message will be added to the confession to indicate why a confession has a custom tag despite the lack of hash tag.
We donāt add custom tags to posted confessions that do not have the hashtag symbol. Both because we donāt have time to track down every confession, and because it people get confused how custom tags work, and why we didnāt put a custom tag on their confession that doesnāt contain a custom tag.
#8 Can you check if I can use this custom tag / signature / sign off?
No. We will never do that. There is no reason you are incapable of doing this. Other than checking to ensure itās not someoneās blog url, we do not check if the custom tag / signature / sign off are free to use. Please personally check for yourself. We do not maintain a list of used custom tags / signatures / sign offs, either.
