A ton of posts are now being flagged as sensitive content thanks to Tumblr’s new idea to make it adult content free. However, you can request a review so they can fix it. I know it’s tiring, and I know it’s not our fault that Tumblr can’t do a simple thing right, but I refuse to have any of my SFW creations being taken down just because Tumblr doesn’t know how to write an algorithm.
So here’s what you can do, even if you aren’t the OP.
Any post that has been flagged will show something like the image below at the top of the post, even if it’s a reblog.
If you’re the OP, a REVIEW link will show up at the right margin of the red bar where it says “Your post was flagged”. Click on it, and then click REQUEST REVIEW, like the image below.
After you’ll get a message in an orange bar saying “Your post is in content appeal”, meaning they’re evaluating whether their algorithm screwed up or not. If it was wrongfully marked as sensitive (and it most likely was), you’ll get an email being alerted to that your post is now visible to everyone again.
Alternatively, if you aren’t the OP, but your reblogs are flagged as well, (which in this case, you’ll see something like the image below in your flagged reblog), you can message the OP about it so they can request a review.
Please, don’t ignore this! It’s bad enough that adult content is being deleted because Tumblr can’t deal with p*rn bots, but having content that has absolutely nothing to with adult content being deleted as well can be fixed, even if we’re the ones who have to ask for said fix.

Gryffindor parties were well known for being loud, out of control, and extremely untame, but honestly… Remus didn’t mind them. He hadn’t felt like drinking that night, which rendered him one of the only sober people in the room.
He was having fun, but as the party started to dwindle down he opted to seek comfort back in his dorm, sitting by the window as the sounds of the party below him died down.

(( OOC: So unfortunately I’m seeing that a fair few of my rp threads have been flagged by tumblr’s new “system”. Bearing in mind none of these posts contain any nsfw content at all, aside from maybe the use of bad language.
Frustratingly there’s really no way for me to see which posts have been flagged unless I scroll endlessly through my blog, as the search function for my own blog now doesn’t work and I can’t see half of my own posts. I’m not sure what these means once the 17th hits, whether these flagged posts will be deleted forever or just hidden from searches. Posts from as far back as two years ago have been targeted.
If you come across a post of mine that has been flagged, it would help me massively if you could let me know so I could request for it to be reviewed. I’m not sure what this means for future posts on this blog, we’ll see how this whole thing plays out. ))
