Is Your Tumblr Marked Explicit? Here’s How to Handle It with a Dash of Sarcasm
Ah, the classic Tumblr saga – you wake up one day and your blog is marked as explicit. Seriously, what is it with the algorithm? It’s like Tumblr’s version of a surprise birthday party but nobody wants to celebrate. Well, let’s dive deeper into why your blog might be labeled explicit and how to potentially sweet talk your way out of it!
First off, let’s address the elephant in the room: if you’re posting anything that *could* be considered NSFW, even remotely, don’t be surprised if Tumblr throws that explicit label on you like it’s confetti at a New Year’s party. You might have stored all your art posts in the “safe-for-work” zone, but have they seen your past? It’s like that one skeleton in the closet that’s always popping up at the worst times.
Steps to Potentially Clear That Label
- Email Persistence: Keep those emails rolling in to Tumblr support. Think of it as nagging them into submission. A simple “please” followed up with “seriously, it’s not you, it’s me” can go a long way. Sure, you might feel annoying, but at least you’re being active!
- Create a New Blog: If your old blog is producing drama like a reality TV show, consider starting fresh. Yes, it might hurt a little losing all those posts, but sometimes you just have to cut ties and move on. The blogosphere can be cruel!
- Keep It Clean: As you set up your new blog, make sure you’re staying clear of any suspicious content. Let’s avoid drawing attention like a moth to a flame, shall we? Keep it pristine and squeaky clean!
- Watch and Wait: Sometimes, patience is a virtue—or a form of torture, depending on how you look at it. It could take anywhere from a few minutes to a year (yikes!) for resolution. They’ll get around to it—eventually.
“Keep emailing. I don’t know for certain, but when push comes to shove, being persistent might just win the day.”
So, in summary, if your Tumblr is giving you the explicit treatment you didn’t sign up for, try nagging Tumblr like you’re a relative asking about your love life at a family dinner. Use those email fingers, create a new blog if needed, and just maybe, find the willpower to wait it out.
