I just recently found out about Tumblr banning all NSFW content on December 17th and it's the biggest pile of
HORSESHIT I have ever heard in my life.
staff.tumblr.com/post/18075898…Rather than dealing with the porn bots that are running rampant (and the other sickos who post child pornography and other racially/politically offensive content), the staff are going to ban
all adult content. And this is going to affect lots of innocent people in the long run. And from what I've read from other people's Journal entries on the subject, porn bots and pedos are STILL crawling on Tumblr while their algorithm is flagging any and all random stuff, whether it's NSFW or not, forcing people with PG-rated images to jump through hoops to prove their content is safe for everyone's innocent eyes.
Look, I am all up for banning child porn and other truly offensive content on the site, but with this decision Tumblr has shot itself in the foot with a rocket launcher.
There are SO many NSFW artists on Tumblr (some of my buddies here on DA post their NSFW content there), and so many who stay on Tumblr to enjoy their content. But because Tumblr can't get the damn porn bots and pedos under control, which are the
REAL PROBLEM HERE, they're going to screw over a huge majority of their user base with this decision to ban ALL NSFW content.
Epic-fucking-fail. (But apparently they're gonna allow NSFW fanfiction to slip past the radar? LOL WUT LOGIC MUCH???
)
I'm just gonna drop this here in case anyone is interested.

and eventually allow NSFW again once they lose a vast majority of their users because they deleted their accounts or moved to other sites to post their work. I'm keeping my fingers crossed here. skin by dogbff
