Since the 17th about 12 of my posts where flagged as adult content and when I went to try and appeal it there was no appeal button. I went through their help and read the whole article. I even contacted support who then copied and pasted their help page not even trying to assist me. All I know is that there was supposed to be a button for the original creator to click and allow up to appeal but there wasn’t.
On my computer:
On the app:
See no button for appeal.
It has taken me days to figure out this work around and I thought some other people out there might be having this issue.
Now here is how you appeal your post when you don’t have the appeal button
Now go through your blog and find all your pages with censored posts clicking on them to take you to the original post.
You’ll get this message and then you’ll click appeal again.
Your post is now being appealed.
You can check that it was fixed just by refreshing your blogs page.
And that’s it! I know it is stupid and ridiculous to do such a ridiculous back method but unfortunately it’s the only solution I’ve come up with.
Also no you can’t just use the weird sidebar dashboard to find it as any flagged posts don’t actually show up at all in it.
Anyways I hope this helps you guys.
I’ve been doing this. It definitely works, but it’s REALLY clunky.
You ALMOST CERTAINLY have flagged posts that Tumblr didn’t notify you about, so you should check.
The easiest way to find them (and it’s kind of a beating) is to go to [yoururl].tumblr.com/archive. (ex. I’m talesofdrunkennessandcruelty.tumblr.com/archive.) You’ll be able to scroll through thumbnails of everything you’ve posted, separated by month. If anything has been flagged, then you’ll see a thumbnail graphic like the very first one at the top of this.
Open the flagged post in a separate window. It will say that the post wasn’t found, but that’s fine. All you need is numerical listing that’s in the link. Copy that then follow the instructions above.
Sometimes it takes a second or two for the post you want to load, so all you’ll see initially is your dashboard. GIVE IT A SECOND, and you should see the flagged post along with the option to appeal.
I really hope this helps someone.
PS.
Is there any way to mirror this blog onto another site, so I can have my all my old posts and pick up where I left off? I miss my blog, but not this endless BS.
I just got an email from Tumblr saying “you recently uploaded content onto your Tumblr, talesofdrunkennessandcruelty, that has been flagged as adult content.”
This is a SFW blog, so I can’t imagine what they removed, but I’ve gone back through all my posts since Halloween. I don’t see ANY content that’s been flagged. I’ve got 28,029 posts (including this one.) It will take WEEKS to search every last one. Are there any better ways to find what was flagged?
I don’t know why I bother since I stopped posting on December 17. I guess it’s the principle. Meanwhile, I’ve gotten close to 100 new followers since then AND ALMOST ALL OF THEM are spambots. Tumblr hasn’t done a THING about those…or the thousands of fakes/hoaxes/spammers/scammers I’ve reported/blocked in the past. They just care about nipples, apparently……..
Update
The easiest way to find flagged content is to search through your archive. (ex. talesofdrunkennessandcruelty.tumblr.com/archive) If you look closely as you scroll down, you’ll see a post that says it was removed BUT if you click on the post it’ll take you to a dead link. So you STILL have to scroll manually through EVERY POST on you Post screen (ex. www.tumblr.com/blog/talesofdrunkennessandcruelty) until you get to it.
Also, my “recent upload” was a story and pic I linked to 4.5 months ago. I’ll let you judge how “adult” it is for yourselves…
How do I find flagged content?

In response to the NSFW ban being enacted by Tumblr Staff, on December 17th 2018 I propose that we all log off of our Tumblr accounts for 24 hours.
The lack of respect and communication between staff and users is stark. Users have been begging staff to delete the porn bot outbreak, which has plagued the website for well over a year. The porn bots oftentimes send people asks and messages, trying to get them to go to a website full of viruses. They also spam advertisements on others posts.
Users have also begged that Tumblr ban neo-nazis, child porn, and pedophiles, all which run rampant on the site. The site/app got so bad that it was taken off the app store.
However, instead of answering the users, Tumblr has instead taken the liberty to ban all NSFW content, regardless of age. But users have already run into issues of their SFW content being marked as sensitive and being flagged as NSFW, not allowing them to share their work.
Not only does this discriminate again content creators, but it also discriminates against sex workers. Disgustingly, the ban will be enacted on December 17 which is also International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers.
This ban is disgusting, and while I (and plenty of others) welcome porn bots and child porn being banned, the Tumblr filtration system is broken. It tags artistic work’s nipples as NSFW (when it is art), it tags SFW art as NSFW (when it is not), and does not stop the porn bots, neo-nazis and dozens of other issues.
This ban is discriminatory. This ban is ineffective. This ban is unacceptable.
To protest, log off of your Tumblr account for the entirety of November 17th. Log off at 12 am EST or 9PM PST and stay off for 24 hours. Don’t post. Don’t log on. Don’t even visit the website. Don’t give them that sweet ad revenue.
Tumblr’s stock has already taken a hard hit. Let’s make it tank. Maybe then they will listen to the users.
Reblog to signal boost! We must force change.
I’ve got 10 posts left in my queue.
I hate to say this about my 28,000+ posts and to my 3,300+ followers…but I’m thinking about just letting this blog die. I don’t post adult content, but the OP hits the nail on the head.
Plus, I’m NOT OK with a handful of rich, spoiled, insulated executives dictating what they think should pass for morality.
Bye Tumblr
REBLOG IF NAZIS OFFEND YOU MORE THAN NIPPLES.
I’m planning to sign out of this account tonight, and due to a change in Tumblr’s policies I’m not sure that I’m going to sign back in.
If anyone has any questions, comments, complaints, marriage proposals, jokes, conspiracy theories, job offers, large financial donations, or anything else, now is the time to reach out.
If I come back or I start another blog, then I’ll let everyone know. Thanks for the fun times!
