#the appeal process should have available system wide at the onset of the changes December 17 2018

Yeah, tumblr is at it again.

*sighs*

@thewillowsilver

I saw your reply but tumblr won't let me click thru from mobile. Not sure which thing (probably the Tennant reblog that's flagged on my reblog but nowhere else. But feel free to pop on over and message me if it's not).

The only way to get the flag removed is to wait on the appeal process at this point.

At least most users now have the function to see what's flagged and get it reviewed. Each post that shows up in this area has a button to appeal the flag.

On mobile the area to find those posts looks like this:

On desktop there is the same function in the settings list for most users as this was/is a rolling update that's only been slowly released over the last couple weeks instead of the email process they promised before the changes were official.

*judgmentally side eyes tumblr*

I could also make an additional request thru the help desk by copy and pasting the posts specific's unique identifier (pulling up the permalink with post number and whatnot) and asking them to look into it. But I'm pretty tired of having to jump through hoops for false flags.

But as far as I know since I've already hit the appeal button, I just have to wait for it to get through the review persons list of things they're reviewing. They can't being paying those people enough. I bet turnover is crazy for that job.

I've had luck with about 20 to 30 items, which were reblogs where I'M NOT THE OP and I added nothing offensive to the posts, restored through the appeal process.

They even sent the email to ME confirming they fixed MY POST. smh.

In conclusion:

EVERY ONE PLEASE CHECK YOUR FLAGGED POSTS AREA AND APPEAL IT IF YOU HAVE THE OPTION IN YOUR SETTINGS.

Even if you're not OP, and especially if the post has no reason to be flagged. Then wait in purgatory like the rest of us.
