Hey everyone! Local scam buster here with some important information regarding tumblrs messaging system.

If you’re sending new messages to others too often in a short amount of time at a rapid pace, you may eventually find that your ability to send DMs goes away. This is due to a feature tumblr has: a spam filter. If you find yourself limited, please contact support to get it corrected. I know that takes a while sometimes but please understand that’s what you have to do.

In closing, just try to limit how many DMs you send out to people (don’t send out too many new ones all to different users) and don’t send the same asks to the same person multiple times in a row since someone may mark you as spam due to that.

That’s all!

So honored to have had the opportunity to work with them! Synopsis 🩸: The vampires aren't even the worst part about being a teenage trans girl on tumblr.
