Tumblr has a bit of a problem keeping their site...decent for normal people? I believe they need to crack down more on the outright porn, the thinspo blogs and the thinspo blogs disguised as fitblr blogs. They also don't really do anything about hate or harassment, and that's a problem.

But, who am I to tell a freakishly successful site like Tumblr how to govern itself? I'm sure there are reasons they have trouble keeping that stuff under control, but they don't even seem to try.

Tumblr, uh...actually has an entire system in place for dealing with NSFW blogs. You can be banned if you do not properly mark your blog and/or posts as NSFW.

They don't do anything to curb porn and what not because they don't quite care to. Porn is a legal form of free speech and Tumblr is all about that. All they ask is that you make sure to mark yourself appropriately so those who don't wish to run into it don't.

As for dealing with harassment and other abuses, they do take that seriously. Here is a nifty post that mentions how you report to them: http://littlegreenballoon.tumblr.com...blog-on-tumblr

ElysiumFate 04-15-2014 12:44 AM

Alright, I'll give on the porn argument. I don't really care too much about it anyway, as it can easily be avoided as you said. However, I still think they have some issues with the thinspo blogs and the reporting system is still too confusing. They also tend to not do anything about the reports sent into them. You really shouldn't have to go find directions in order to report something. [sweat]

Cherry Who? 04-15-2014 01:39 AM

Reporting tumblrs is definitely over complicated, and then when they do receive reports, they don't handle them very well. They took down a blog dedicated to making fun of men's public profiles on OKCupid. The posts never said anything other than exactly what was these guy's profiles, wasn't calling them names, nothing. They took that down. But they leave up blogs where guys submit creepy photos they took of women without their consent or knowledge. Good job, tumblr. Good job.

OH GOD, THAT'S THE WORST.

Like, I'm not an utter prude, my eyes don't burn at the sight of porn. But it's so ridiculous, I can't search for anything on tumblr without porn popping up. Pastel goth? Porn. String lights? Naked guy wrapped in string lights. Purple? Penis poking out of purple boxers. LIKE REALLY? I GET THAT THE TAG IS RELEVANT, BUT KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE. PEOPLE SEARCHING "PURPLE" AREN'T LOOKING FOR DICK. IF THEY WANT DICK, THEY'RE GONNA SEARCH "DICK." [:(]

Maxipuff 04-15-2014 01:54 AM

I feel the same way, Cherry. ><;;;
It makes me hesitant to look through tumblr in public at all. I always look behind me to make sure
the coast is clear and hold the phone close to my chest so no one can see. ^^;
Sigh. I wish people didn't tag stuff like that so inappropriately.

Edit: OH. You said the tag was relevant though. A lot of times I find that it's not. XD
Tag: Anime Gif
Result: Hardcore not-animated-at-all porn.

ElysiumFate 04-15-2014 02:31 AM

Yes, that's what I'm talking about with the porn! I'm not so much of a prude that I would die if I see a penis or something, but why does porn have to pop up under everything?

I have found I don't have that issue anymore, Maxi, as long as I keep the explicit filter on. Before that filter existed, though, God....Tumblr was not fit for public spaces. [lol]

@Cherry: That's it right there. They ignore reports and trying to get harassment taken down is a battle. It's almost best to just ignore shit than report it on Tumblr. I've heard more than once about those seemingly sexist report handlers, as well. Seems like if a man has a problem it gets fixed, but if a woman does, no dice.

Why do I use that site again? [lol] Oh right...fandoms.

Oh, I get that too. One time I searched for "indoors" to try to find a gifset of Spongebob's ode to staying inside, and I got pages of porn. I don't even understand. Like... okay, the subjects were indoors, but...???? But yeah, lots of searches turn up just random porn without even the remotest connection to the tag. But at least that sort of makes sense since then they're just trying to tag it with popularly searched things. What really confuses me are those barely-at-all-related tags since... why. just why.

I still love playing neopets. ;u;

Maxipuff 04-16-2014 01:10 AM

[lol] Neopets has some fun games though.
I played a lot when I was younger. A lot younger.
But I revisited it about two years ago just for nostalgia's sake
and I played the heck out of destruct-o-match or whatever. [XP]

Oh yeaaaah Neopets. I loved the ice cream game and the color factory or whatever.

I have so many accounts on there. I'm worth millions
IT'S SO ADDICTIVE

Chexala 04-16-2014 06:17 AM

Destruct-o-match is the best game on there, for me anyway.
Sadly, I lost access to my best, main account. I go look at my profile page sometimes and feel sad that I can get it back. [cry] At least it didn't get hacked or stolen.

The Wandering Poet 04-16-2014 07:55 AM

Neopets... T_T I lost interest when they changed mah games.
Ptera Attack and the Block Breaker one...

[ninja]

@ Chex - My main trouble is I don't remember my password and the username I used is totally unfamiliar to adult me XD
Was I think the first username I ever made... I think?

Chexala 04-17-2014 12:11 AM

I remember my username, but not my password. I can't get a new password though because the email I used for that account is long gone, and also I lied about my age when I signed up and can't remember what my fake birthday was. >_< So yeah, that account is lost forever.

Not that it really matters, I wouldn't use it for anything even if I could get back in. I just feel nostalgic about it.

The Wandering Poet 04-17-2014 07:00 AM

Haha... everyone lied about their age on that site [lol]

Chexala 04-18-2014 01:28 AM

I bet! I mean, it was a great site for kids, but you had to be 13 to sign up without your parents being involved, so what were you supposed to do, right?

The Wandering Poet 04-18-2014 06:25 AM

I think that part was only for the forums... and I never learned it existed until jelly told me

---------- Post added 04-17-2014 at 11:28 PM ----------

Speaking of... *runs off to feed their poor dying creature* D:

Chexala 04-18-2014 08:11 PM

Hmm, my memory is that I needed to be 13 just to make an account, there wasn't anything separate for the forums. Ah well.

jellysundae 04-18-2014 11:32 PM

Neopets T_T No matter what possible combination I try of my password, none of them work . _. And the same as others, the email for that account is long defunct.

The Wandering Poet 04-19-2014 05:05 AM

Yknow to this day I have not found the forums [lol]

Cherry Who? 04-19-2014 05:18 AM

I never made an account on Neopets, but I had a lot of the plushies. They sold them at my favorite tween clothing store when I was a tween. I thought they were so cute, but never got around to checking out the site. I still have those plushies actually; need to offload them on ebay to make a couple bucks. [lol] But... but... this squirrelthing has a cloud pattern on its fur. AND THIS COW IS PINK!

Booderdooder 04-19-2014 05:28 AM

I'm only nineteen, so I might not be too old for some of these things.
I am crazy about old cartoons, and I'll watch kid movies all the time. Its what really inspired me to start drawing after all. I can always use the inspiration. I go out of my way to find old cartoons or hunt down cartoons I had forgotten long ago, too. I also can't deny my love for...old Barbie PC games. Barbie Magic Genie, Secret Agent Barbie, I love them all. I'm also crazy about stuffed animals, especially Pokemon plushies. I...I spent $40 on a large Fennekin plushie for my birthday not too long ago ;-;'

Edit: ALSO NEOPETS. YES. I make a new account every two years or so, after forgetting my old accounts.
I just bought a Lupe plushie from eBay a few months ago. The kind they had in kids meals at McDonald's years ago.
I'm going to collect all of the different colors and other neopets eventually.
I regret nothing.

The Wandering Poet 04-19-2014 05:53 AM

Cherry you should share pics :D I wanna see.
