Like, hey, man! Welcome to the Shaggy Collective!

What is the Shaggy Collective?

Well, to put it simply, remember the Woody Collective? That whole thing a couple years back where people went around taking deactivated URLs of really bad, problematic users? This is sort of like a revival of that but with Shaggy instead! He is the most powerful being in existence, after all! Who better to use as a mascot?

Ever since Dec. 17th when Tumblr announced their adult content ban under the guise of creating “a better, more positive Tumblr”, things haven’t really gotten any better or more positive- in fact, things seem to have gotten worse. Tumblr still barely does anything to actually curb blogs that have been causing problems, even after multiple reports have been sent about their behavior. We aim to try to help keep the community positive using the tried-and-true method of creating a giant, terrifying hivemind!

How can I join the Shaggy Collective?

Simple! If you see a deactivated blog that used to belong to a problem blog, simply create a new sideblog using that URL. Once you have the URL, simply keep the default theme and do the following:

-Use this picture as your profile picture!

-Use this picture as your header image!

-Make your blog title “Zoinks, Scoob!”

-Make the description read “Like, this blog has been reclaimed by the Shaggy Collective, man!” This will hopefully deter you from getting any hate directed at the original user should you decide to open your asks.

What counts as a “problem blog”?

This is a list of blog types that are eligible for reclamation (and make sure you have solid proof that they fall under these categories!):

MAPs or MAP supporters Neo-Nazis White Supremacists Fascists Racists Homophobes Transphobes TERFs/SWERFs Art thieves Cyberbullies/blogs that target and harass other users Spambots/pornbots Stalkers/users who account-hop to get around being blocked Trolls Any other blogs that break Tumblr’s Community Guidelines (If I’m missing anything feel free to let me know!)

These are the types of blogs that are NOT eligible for reclamation (unless they also fall into one of the categories above!):

Ship/anti-ship blogs Blogs for fandoms you don’t like Blogs you got into a minor disagreement with Blogs you just don’t like Random blogs that didn’t actually do anything

What do I do with the blog once I’ve reclaimed a URL?

Whatever you want, I guess! Just keep the Shaggy Collective branding on your blog. And keep an eye out for others! If you see another Tumblr who falls into one of the categories on that first list, feel free to shoot them a “Zoinks, Scoob!” or ten. Most importantly, have fun and be yourself!
