Do NOT put your credit in the caption. Tumblr deleted blogs that post and reblog content containing links in the caption. It happened to me and now it happened to @softjeon .
I’m in class so I can’t explain but please consider putting your link in the tags. It can seriously harm your blog and your followers.
If you want to know staff’s explanation, let me know and I can send you their email I received after they brought back my blog.
Stay safe and please reblog
Notice that neither of us reblogged porn or a link directing to porn whatsoever. We assume file share links like media fire and upload are risky and twitter and YouTube links
It looks like her trigger was giving credit to a twitter account (link in the caption)
Some people are confused as to what I mean with ‘caption’ so here’s an example:
“love” redirects to the source and CAN trigger an automatic termination of your blog.
What can you do if you find yourself not able to access your blog?
In general, all your information such as your URL; followers; posts, etc is not deleted. But you can’t access your Blog nor can other’s do anything else but tag you.
If you find yourself logged out, use the contact formula at the bottom of the log in page and choose ‘terminated account’ as the reason you’re contacting support and write them a short but detailed explanation of your problem. And then you have to wait. Tumblr might send you an E-Mail letting you know they received your messages. Be aware it can take a while for them to investigate the problem so try not to freak out.
The people I know of got their blog back so don’t worry too much.
Stay safe !
The reply from staff talked about a “deceptive” link, so the issue isn’t the credit itself but the way you post it. From what the wording suggests, a more clear text (say, “original on twitter”) [or, even better, follow the instructions in this post] should be fine because it’s not deceptive (you have told your readers that, by clicking, they’ll go to twitter).
One solution could be posting the url without making it a click-through link, so a “twitter.com/[etc]” as text.
Okay so to me it seems like, Tumblr is trying to fight the porn bot problem. And it’s tricky to do that, as this post shows. However, the reply from Tumblr mentions two things “deceptive link” and “explicit post”. That makes more sense if they are trying to fight porn.
They aren’t trying to stop folks from linking all together, imo. Why have the feature otherwise? But if we reblog someone’s post and it has a link pointing somewhere outside tumblr, I guess it’s our responsibility to first check that link before we reblog.
And @hakka84 has linked above on how to credit properly for GIF makers. That post explain better how a link to credit can be potentially flagged.
Deceptive or Fraudulent Links. Don’t post deceptive or fraudulent links in your posts. This includes giving links misleading descriptions, putting the wrong “source” field in a post, setting misleading click-through links on images, or embedding links to interstitial or pop-up ads.
Misattribution or Non-Attribution. Make sure you always give proper attribution and include full links back to original sources. When you find something awesome on Tumblr, reblog it instead of reposting it. It’s less work and more fun, anyway. When reblogging something, DO NOT inject a link back to your blog just to steal attention from the original post.
Reblogging for the clarification/information provided by @hakka84 and @burning–amber.
Aliens are the least of our worries right now but listen to me. Aliens don’t want to hurt us but the government is gonna convince us they do and incite worldwide panic and start a real space war to avoid advancing technology for the general population because efficient non oil based energy that the aliens have will crush the capitalist industries that need it to thrive welcome to my ted talk
headcanon that unlike the american red cross, vampires are grateful to receive blood donated by members of the lgbtqa+ community. In fact, due to their interest in human blood and bloodborne pathogens, the vampire community was among the first to fund medical research to study and search for a cure for HIV.
this is a Good Take.
*SLAMS REBLOG BUTTON*
No, but seriously, the people (and undead) who are actually interested in health and blood sciences would be the first to shove the outdated and ignorant anti-gay rhetoric out the window. People in the blood bank industry have been screaming for it for years.
I get why it happened. no one knew what it was and when knowledge is absent and all that’s left is statistics you gotta base your decisions off statistics.
But the fact that we’ve had Knowledge for this long and have let this policy persist for so long is disgusting and HARMFUL and WASTEFUL and I work in a hospital and have a lot of feelings about blood products and their handling. Just….. AAAUGH.
i’m so glad this post reached a vampire working in the blood industry
Brb spreading this to the entire LGBTQ+ community
(And vampire community)
one and the same my friend
name one (1) cishet vampire
I mean, what abt werewolves? I’m sure they’d be super friendly and would love to use blood if any kind in their dishes
their scientific research is more focused on astronomy and the moon
not to sound too millennial here but it annoys me so much when I’m at a restaurant and someone I’m with will complain about the service being slow like buddy pal it’s fine it’s not that important
You didn’t waited 40 minutes for a dinner before haven’t you?
i have but i also have, like, real problems
I waited well over an hour for food once at IHOP, because it kept coming out inedible.
We finally asked what was going on, and it turns out that the ONLY cook had been working for 36 hours straight with only a short nap.
I ordered the easiest thing to make, tipped the waitress heavily, and sent her back to the cook with a $10 tip for them, too, AFTER watching the 24-hour restaurant close the doors so that they could send the cook home for some rest.
Yeah, I’ve waited 40 minutes for my dinner, and I didn’t ask for a discount, we tipped VERY well, and sent the cook our best wishes.
If something goes wrong with your restaurant experience, consider that there are real people back there, working under god knows what conditions.
“Millennials” are more human than their previous generations imo
