@staff here is a collegial advice
As a 4th year student of the Web Design programme. I myself had to solve, creatively, problems appearing on my websites last 4 years.
The problem you might be having can be solved @staff :
TUMBLR ARK!
STEP 1:
Launch an alert box let’s users sign in their username and confirm their signature via mail to save their blogs in Tumblr cloud service. Set a deadline to 1.1.2019 (archive the list with all users who decided to save their blog)
STEP 2:
During this ‘Tumblr ARK’ project start digging into the past and start from Tumblr version from December 2017 (with same guidelines from that time)
STEP 3:
Create a bot filter that will actually prevent bots from registering into tumblr by adding multiple puzzles and verification process when a guest wants to register.
STEP 4:
Create a filter that will search ACTUAL harmful blogs from blogging, example; //add words that represents a threat to someone or a whole community such as ‘n-a-z-i’ or ‘n-i-g-g-e-r’ \ and when thise blacklisted words appear 5+ times give that user a note to elaborate his violent acts and then ban his address if not replied to your email,ask,messege,note in 1 week time.
Don’t remove any tags from appearing in search bar such as ‘fur-ry’. What if someone has a big fluffy puppy and tags it as #fur-ry?
Think before you blacklist a word, ask users what they think about a word being blacklisted.
STEP 5:
Save all blogs that belong to users who entered their usernames into the ARK, also let other users add more usernames to the list due to the old inactive blogs that might be filled with good and useful content! IMPORTANT
FINAL STEP 6:
Once you make an operating Tumblr going with ACTUAL user freedom and list of all users who entered their names into the TUMBLR ARK. Delete all blogs except those who haven’t entered their name in the ARK on the date set /1.1.2019.\ (let other users sign in blogs that might be inactive but filled with beautiful art or any work to begin with).
It’s 1.1.2019. All blogs are deleted from Tumblr. Then release the new old version and load all blogs that are in the Tumblr ARK on to the Tumblr server
