all hands on deck!

the new content filters and the flagging system require every reblogger to appeal independently from the poster.

What is happening?

With the latest tumblr content filter updates, every reblog is flagged independently from the original post without the OP knowing. This means that if your post is reblogged by someone and that reblog is flagged, you won't know. The note count will go up, but the note is hidden: you can't see it on the rebloggers blog or any other reblogs branching from the flagged post.

What should I do?

Every reblogger needs to appeal for their own reblogs. Thankfully the review time on Tumblr's side has been fast, usually in a couple of hours they restore the post. If you can notify the OP, grand. If you have time, leave a support ticket, choose feedback and tell them why you think this is a bad model.

Why and how should I do it?

We all know the latest and contested change about the note counts that was thankfully rolled back, but its ramifications are still in use. Tumblr now considers every reblog a post in its own right, as you can see from the new banners for the same post as above:

The turn this website has taken regarding the ownership of posts is at best discouraging and at worst a massive disrespect done to all the artists, creators, gifmakers, fic writers and meta writers out there, making fandom fun and alive. If artists, writers and gifmakers don't get autonomy over their own art being shared on this website, how is a reblog different from a repost, something tumblr actively discourages from doing? How can the OP appeal for a post if they don't even know it's flagged? Why are we taking away ownership of the art from the artist, the human behind it?

How do I appeal?

Tumblr has this very useful feature, both on the website and on the mobile app:

You can find all the flagged posts on your blog either by going to the relevant blog>right hand menu, below Posts, Followers, Activity>Review flagged posts on the website OR by going to Settings>Review flagged posts on the mobile

Then you click on Appeal, and write a very short reason why, describing the post. You can even write this:

This post has nothing that is against the User Guidelines.

Let's keep fandom culture alive, folks.

“You knew I’d—” ”Die Hard your way up here? Come on, Wes. Who knows you better than me?” “Perhaps you don’t know me as well as you think.” “What are you doing, Wesley?” “Standard perpetuity clause.”

You can’t imagine the price for true evil. Yeah? I hope evil takes MasterCard.

Make Me Choose - witchy-babe asked: Gunn or Wesley

Given the time to get to know each other, would Faith and Lilah become friends?

Yes - they're similar but also have differences that would balance each other!

Sort of - reluctant allies/frenemies who GET each other but often clash

No - they'd hate each other!

It’s like you just keep sinking a little deeper every day, and nobody even sees.

Please pick your favorite of my four fave BTVS/ATS characters. These are obviously not the ones I think are the best human beings (often the opposite!) but just the characters I find most intriguing and whose particular brand of dysfunction vibes with mine :)

Faith Lehane

Lilah Morgan

Wesley Wyndam Pryce

a few of my favourite things ☆ (16/50) female characters: faith lehane

you’re all about control. you have no idea what it’s like on the other side! where nothing’s in control, nothing makes sense! there is just pain and hate and nothing you do means anything.

I was so encouraged by the whopping two votes my last poll received that I had to make another! Seriously, I love reading about controversial or just unpopular takes, so please choose one of mine:

My ideal Faith endgame: single by choice. I ship her only with happiness!

Buffy is a goddess - but not among the characters I find most intriguing

I believe Weslah truly could be in a happy committed albeit odd relationship

I like Cangel only in theory - imo there's almost zero romantic chemistry

I was excited to see wlw rep but Twillow never resonated with me

Amy Acker's acting is overrated and Fred is mostly unbearable

Xander is very flawed but I think he's way overly hated

Willow is very flawed but I think she's way overly hated

I'm so sorry, but I find Lorne extremely annoying!

Some love Dawn, others hate her - I've always been indifferent to her

Some love Fresley, others hate it - I've always been indifferent to it!
