#staff accountants

[thexphial]

I feel like I have come to a point with Tumblr that I need to make a post about the way they have handled (or rather, not handled) moderation. At approximately 3am on Saturday, February 11, 2023, my wife was informed that her Tumblr account had been terminated. This came with no other information. She was not given details as to why her account was terminated and the only recourse she had was to use the "contact support" form to ask why her account was terminated and ask for how she could restore it. As of today, Feb 21, 2023, she has heard back nothing from the moderation team, just an acknowledgement that her emails have been received. We are looking at 10 days with zero communication.

My wife's account was used for fandom, for political commentary, and to discuss queer issues. She was active for years, and should not have been flagged as a bot based on her activity. If she was reported or has broken a rule, we do not know what it could have been. If this could happen to her, it could happen to you, to anyone. She used her account as a primary way of connecting with others and its loss has been a serious blow to her mental health. I have written to support myself and received a response but it was simply to tell me that she should contact them, which she has already done.

It's clear that they are not responding to her for reason or reasons unknown, given the fact that I got a response in 24 hrs but she has gotten nothing at all in 10 days. There seems to be no way to contact the moderation team outside of the support form, which has been ineffective. I feel I have no recourse but to make this issue public. Again, if this could happen to my wife, it could happen to anyone. I am half expecting to be terminated just for writing this post. I am going to try to blaze this, but I doubt they will allow it. If you see it, could you pass it on?

Thank you!

I'm so done with staff i hate that they're just going full mask off now

[nickythenrcghostieee]

the NRC staff is weird.

first of all, there's only 3 teachers. And they all lead their own.. courses? I'm gonna call it courses

-the science, potion making, potion theory, and stuff like that teacher is a diva who can't drive

-the social studies, "how to interact with magical thingies/beasts", etc teacher is a crazy cat lady

-the PE, "how to basically manhandle things", the physical side of magic/education teacher is a beefcake whose brain is literally just muscle

and non-teacher staff is not any less weird!

-the Headmage is a useless crow who pushes all of his work onto the overworked fashonista known as Crewel

-the shopkeeper is a shady man who is best friends with the diva and somehow gets past things that he definitely shouldn't.

and all the rest of the work is done by us ghosts!

but I like 'em!

I'm out of "explicit" jail!

I ended up using the "something else" section of the appeal page instead of the "blog was flagged as explicit" section and I guess that put my appeal in the eyes of a human. Tbh I was ready to accept things as they were and put up with the restrictions of the shadowbanning, running things mainly from the sub blogs, but now that its back things are even easier.

i have seen countless photos and videos of martyred palestinians and what i’ve seen isn’t even a fraction of the number of people that have been killed. knowing an estimate of how many people have been injured, knowing how many will most likely succumb to infection and sepsis and then seeing this man make a mockery of their suffering yet again. joe biden i hope you die the most vile death i hope these words and your dismissal of palestinian life haunts you in your last moments i truly truly truly hope for the worst for u 🙏🏽

Pre HRT vs 6 months on HRT!

Not the most changes but I still look very obviously more feminine

[sop-soap]

Hey staff, this is a post that does not break the TOS or come close in any way. This post doesn’t say any swear words or have any threats or any sexual content. This post is just here to say that the way you’re treating your users, especially transfem users, is wrong, and deleting every blog that calls you out for it is a blatant and poorly-done attempt at covering up your bigotry. If my account gets nuked for just making this post, you are confirming that you either are silencing people just for disagreeing with you, or you find transfem people to be an inherently sexual and inappropriate topic. Both of these reasons are extremely hypocritical for the site that claims to be queer friendly, and one of the queerest places in the internet. PLEASE stop deleting blogs for no good reason

when I said I liked robots, porn bots trying to give me viruses to mine for crypto coin wasn't what i meant

[superbellsubways]

wip of this was rotting in my gallery for months.. just take it

[ban-joey]

i do think it's really indicative of the industry that it's yet another pathetic paranoid windbag of a white dude that ends up lucky enough to be in charge of a website managed by the most busted code imaginable that's absolutely hemorrhaging funds every day and has already been dinged by the aclu once. like at this point i genuinely wonder if these people have any concept of social media/website management outside of the parasitic tech bro

Gee whiz I sure love having an account on one of the most embarrassing sites on the internet. First the half-hearted porn ban, which still doesn't make any goddamn sense and is so embarrassing and cruel, (Literally you fucked up artists and artist incomes for nothing, morons) then months of flagging sfw posts as nsfw, then trans people seemingly getting marked as nsfw when not, then the CEO is banning a transwoman instead of heeding her reports she's getting mass reported and stalked.

You can permaban someone for an unfortunate slip but can't ban the nazis and terfs?

Also fyi it's fucking disturbing to say someone could call themselves a nazi and be fine. What the actual fuck is wrong with you. Just working on being Elon Musk 2.0. I bet you idolize him too don't you.

Cohost, the website, is a million times better than this site and I can't recommend it enough. They have sane nsfw filters and a very similar but even better featureset to tumblr. Oh and the staff are nice people and queer people are directly on staff. No corporate bullshit unlike this place.

https://cohost.org/rc/welcome

Can't get over the nsfw ban, especially the terms of it. Someone can talk about wanting to be smoten in incredibly nsfw text posts but a transwoman can't post breasts *or apparently even sfw timeline* without getting banned.

This isn't a transwoman causing a scuffle, this is your leadership sucking for goddamn years.

Literally just call us faggots and get it over with, you don't fucking support the LGBT community if you don't support nsfw. Corporate rainbow icon ass bullshit. Fuck you.

This is a serious post.

So, I'm sure we're aware it took me tagging Tumblr Support on here for them to review the appeal I issued last month. I was falsely flagged, and my blog was marked as explicit for a picture I uploaded to accompany my 'Straight To Video' Sam Monroe fic.

Now, it's all over with, and I'm glad, but I want to bring attention to the problem I brought up in my appeal - the disgusting thing that is allowed on Tumblr.

I'll begin this post with talking about Twitter (will refer to it as 'X' for convenience). About 2 years ago, there was a major issue on X which I'll refer to as 'The MAP Movement (TMM).'

TMM was a time where MAPs ("minor attracted persons," which are just pedophiles) were trying to weasel their way into the LGBT community, wanting to say that being a 'MAP' was a sexuality, a lifestyle. While TMM was going on, there was a flood of minors on X that called themselves 'AAMs' - "adult attracted minors." MAPs and AAMs went hand in hand, because they were feeding into each other's deplorable fantasies. Obviously, there is a difference between being a minor and having a crush on someone who happens to be an adult, and a minor who is self-aware and ENABLES pedophiles.

This is where Tumblr comes in.

When Twitter was rebranded to X and bought by Elon Musk, TMM, MAPs, and AAMs were wiped off the platform. A couple years ago, I would be spending most of my day reporting and blocking these disgusting people. Since they were run off X, they have since come to Tumblr.

Just as they did on X, they use "creative" tags such as the following, which is a list of terms for you to block.

— l0l1t4, l0l1t, l0l1, m4p, m4ppr1d3, m4pr1d3, pr0m4p, prom4p, 44m, aam, pr044m, pro44m, p3d0b41t, p3do, p3d0, p3d0p1l, p3d0ph1l3, pr0p3d0, j41lb41t — and any other combos of the letters and numbers that apply to MAPs, pedophiles, and AAMs.

I'm bringing attention to this because, obviously, it's disgusting and harmful. Under these tags, there is child pornography, young of age girls playing into the 'jailbait' stereotype (young, stupid, and impressionable), and nasty old men AND women preying on young girls and boys.

Tumblr has a general issue when it comes to NSFW content. Their guidelines (last updated Feb 1, 2024) state as follows:

"Harm to Minors. Don't post or solicit content that features the abuse of a minor, that includes suggestive or sexual content involving a minor or anyone that appears to be a minor, or that facilitates or promotes child sexual abuse. "Content" may include photos of real individuals, illustrations, animation, or text. Posting or reblogging child sexual abuse material is a serious crime for which we have no tolerance. We report all such instances to child protection organizations and law enforcement around the world, including the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children."

Despite this guideline, people get around this (and the ones regarding self-harm, gore, and mutilation, as well as promotion of eating disorders as EDs fall under self-harm) quite easily. Shift some numbers and letters around, and bam, you have an evasion.

I want Tumblr to hold these accounts responsible for the horrible shit they encourage, promote, and glorify.

getting back into animal jam lately

[tired-fandom-ndn]

Ao3 please you are literally the only site I can load on my data right now, I NEED you.

[princessefemmelesbian]

No but fr it actually is terrifying that transandrophobia truthers...know that the term was coined by a guy with a corrective rape/misgendering kink that he freely posted about on his blog, like they're not ignorant or oblivious to it at all, they know about that shit, and rather than condemn it as wrong like a morally upright person would do, they instead justify that shit by saying "well consensual kinks aren't harming anybody, let people fuck how they like! it's actually his transfem girlfriend who had that kink, not him, therefore it's okay and he's definitely not a creep for posting about it! Fantasizing about raping lesbians/trans women and turning them straight/misgendering them is never wrong, it's a totally normal fetish to have!!! Why are you such a prude stickler for puritanism!!!" Like if you ever needed any more proof that transandrodorks are misogynists who violently hate lesbians and trans women then babes this is it. They claim to be speaking up for trans men when really they just want to put down trans women and lesbians and seek the power that cis men possess and it couldn't be clearer with how they treat them.
