Fellow Tumblrs,
If you haven’t noticed Tumblr is flagging a lot of posts for adult content which is no longer going to be allowed. So it looks like Tumblr is changing.
Yes Tumblr is ‘cracking down’ on images on here but it is not making words go away, just the naughty pictures.
If you have, like me, posted things that are flagged you can request them to be reviewed because currently it is just computer algorithm doing the flagging. They are not going to terminate your blog for what you have posted, they will just not be public when this policy starts on 17th. It is posting things after that date may get you in trouble.
On a side note, if you didn’t see this coming with Verizon as the owner of this bit of the internet, you were kidding yourself. Don’t like it, cancel your Verizon phone plan but don’t cancel your Tumblr.
Don’t cancel your Tumblr because you do not want to lose your followers. If you decide to leave Tumblr you can have your followers follow you but just being pissy and deleting your Tumblr you will lose all of that.
So remain calm and don’t do anything rash :)
Here is a snippet of the new rules:
Updates to Tumblr’s Community Guidelines
Today we announced some big updates to our Community Guidelines
and what kind of content is permitted on Tumblr. Adult content will no
longer be allowed here. While we do not judge anyone for their desire to
post, engage with, or view this stuff, it is time for us to change our
relationship with it.
We expect you may have some questions on how this will affect you, and we’re here to make sure those questions get answered.
When does the new policy take effect?
Our new Community Guidelines will go into effect on December 17, 2018.
Newly uploaded content flagged as adult will no longer be allowed on Tumblr. We’ll also begin flagging and removing existing adult content with the ultimate goal of removing as much of it as we can.
What is considered adult content?
Adult
content primarily includes photos, videos, or GIFs that show real-life
human genitals or female-presenting nipples, and any content—including
photos, videos, GIFs and illustrations—that depicts sex acts.

Just wanted to make my followers aware that as Bob Dylan says “The times they are a changing”.
