Tumblr

I've been thinking that's why.

All the bots I'm getting (and there does seem to be a lot of them) are sticking to would you like to test out my game (sometimes they specify fantasy which kind of makes sense, but sometimes they specify fictional which is odd, I mean I know your game isn't real, you aren't. But with what the program is trying to get across it's odd, because I expect the plot to be fiction if it's a real game?)

You know what sucks? There's apparently no way to ensure only people who follow you see specific posts.

Like, a while back I made a (perhaps slightly ignorant) post about Final Fantasy 7 and I didn't tag it at all and two people who don't follow me at all somehow found it and hassled me about it.

What'd you say?

I was just talking about how I'd actually prefer if the FF 7 remake rewrote it so that Certain Character Whose Death Everyone has Been Spoiled On But I will Avoid Mentioning By Name didn't actually die. For reasons that were pointed out to me, politely, by other people, weren't entirely correct. (I mean, I still would prefer they change that, but my "justification" wasn't very well thought-out)

And of course, after having a reasonable discussion with people who didn't jump down my throat, I was met with people who weren't nearly as polite and that was annoying. Because that's the whole reason I didn't tag that shit. So I could vent about a thing and possibly be wrong about it without someone yelling at me.

It would be nice if they at least had the option, I suppose.

Although I recall correctly (I've never played the game, but I know the story to a degree), said character surviving would probably result in a lot of plot coming in way earlier than it was supposed to, at the very least.

What was your justification?

I said that it basically served no purpose other than motivating Cloud and Co. to save the world faster, when they already should have had all the reason they needed to save the world. Also that said character is your only healer

Which is inaccurate, as that's not all the reason it served, and everyone can learn healing spells.

Like I said, other people took the time to politely explain to me the aspects I got wrong, and that was fine.

Let's see if I'm remembering this right - what else does said character's death accomplish.

It allowed the party to summon Holy and, at the very end, calmed Holy down once it started to go apeshit. Without Aerith's spirit, Holy would have wiped out everything, not just the Weapons and the Meteor.

You know who I've come to hate on Tumblr?

People who won't tag their porn. I don't mean porn blogs, who are usually good about that, I mean people with general blogs who refuse point blank to tag their nsfw stuff. I mean why> How much effort could it possibly take?

Tagging is haaaaaaaaaaaaaard

Oh yeah that's so annoying, like I'm innocently scrolling than nudity and occasionally sex (I don't have much actual porn). This is why I avoid Tumblr when I'm visiting my niece and nephew.

I've had a tumblr for around 2 years now, and I have a love-hate relationship with the site (though a lot of people think that way too).

But once something I didn't tag a post but it ended up on a tag, (I mentioned a music artist within the post and I saw the post on the tag later) so that's probably what happened to Mukora. I saw a post that explained it was added but it didn't get much traction. I think it's annoying- if I wanted to tag it, I would've.

Could be one of your followers tagged it when reblogging it from you.

(I do that a lot, mostly because my tags are primarily for my benefit and highly idiosyncratic.)

I don't think it ends up in the tag, per se. Tumblr's got two different browsing systems, there's /search and /tagged, and I'm pretty sure /search also gives results not just by what tags someone puts on a post but also by the text in said post. I put out an untagged spotify playlist the other week and typed out everything in it on the post, when I went looking for audio posts later (which is much easier to do with /search because you can filter by post-type) I found my playlist up in all the artists I'd named.

Is there a way to flag NSFW posts that don't have a tag, like to report that or something? [/doesnotusetumblr]

Tumblr's getting their jimmies riled up again about an update. Could someone please explain what's the problem with it?

https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/tumblr-update

well, it looks like they've rendered text on posts impossible to edit beyond removing it entirely.
And at the same time making it a 100% more easy for dipshits to wipe away vital OP text.

The role-playing community are apparently the ones crying the hardest but I've honestly no idea of how they operate so I couldn't tell you why.

For fuck sakes, staff. Why do they continue to mess with stuff that doesn't need to be fixed but not with stuff people have been asking to fix?

That is a very weird change. What exactly were they trying to accomplish?

Because threads tend to be contained in reblogs and holy hell do they get messy if you can't trim them down.

I guess no one has an answer to my question...?

Maybe nobody knows the answer? I don't.

I am not even sure if there is something to report, to be honest. Blogs must be marked as NSFW, but I don't think posts need to. As long as the post comes from a properly marked NSFW blog, they don't actually need to have an extra tag, I believe. Sure, it is good manners to tag your posts properly, but it is not an actual site rule.

EDIT:That might be what you are looking for. Maybe, not entirely sure. But, again, I don't think your specific report is a valid one.

EDIT2:here the actual policy on nsfw. Including directions to how to flag something you found inappropriate.

-~-" Apparently the new update is easily circumvented:

So I'm getting ready to open an account on Tumblr just for the heck of it this weekend. And I'm curious about what to expect from the community. I've already purchased the proverbial hazmat suit and a matching riot shield◊ if the great crusade occurs.
