(Yet Another) Friendly Reminder

captofthesswolfstar:

That most of the bloggers you follow here are not health care professionals. 

We are not professional Psychologists

We are not professional Crisis Counselors 

We are DEFINITELY not professional Medical Doctors.

We can only give you advice based on our experiences and our opinions, and that may not be what is best for YOU. 

If you are dealing with an actual emergency or you feel like there may be something very seriously, please do not consider your Favorite Blogger as an acceptable alternative to actually seeking professional help, ESPECIALLY if it’s medical!!! 

Do Not Fuck Around With Your Health

Do Not Contact your Tumblr Fav

Do Not Pass Go

…Maybe collect 200$ if you have a copay with your insurance, idk…

We literally cannot help you and our first response is going to be to tell you to go to a professional. AnY pRoFeSsIoNaL! Go to your Primary Care Doctor, a walk in clinic, the ER, Your School Nurse, it doesn’t matter. Someone who has actual knowledge about health care to any degree who can at least point you in the right direction. 

Also, using the anon function to send personal questions about potential health issues you may be having with your body is really not the best way to get them answered…There are certain things that we don’t want to publish on our blogs because they are uncomfortable topics and we shouldn’t be pressured to post them publicly, which is unfortunately the only option with Anon messages. 

It’s not even that we, the bloggers, are uncomfortable talking to you about it, it just doesn’t belong on our Fandom blogs…and you shouldn’t want that on our blogs either, whether everyone can see who you are or not. Its personal.

If you really feel like you need to talk to your Tumblr Fav about an issue like this (which is legit, sometimes we just need to hear it from someone else that something is serious and we need to take action) you should send a PM.

I know sometimes its hard to send a PM to a blogger that you look up to or like a lot. Social anxiety is super real and its absolutely valid to feel anxious even just saying hi, let alone messaging them to talk about something potentially embarrassing, but believe me, it’s so much better for you and for the blogger if you send these kinds of questions privately. It gives us a chance to either 

A) Answer the question you have, because who knows? Maybe we DO have the knowledge you’re looking for, or at least can give some friendly advice 

or

B) Tell you that although we want to help, we cannot.

It’s very stressful for some of us to have serious questions in our inboxes that we cannot answer, but are anonymous so we can’t even reach out and tell you that we cannot answer and it makes us feel like you might think we are ignoring you. 

Just….Please? Please be considerate of your Advice Giving Tumblr Faves. We love you and we want to help you, but you have to help us too.

Slytherin: I don’t want tea.

Ravenclaw: I didn’t make it for you… This is my tea.

Slytherin: Then why are you telling me?

Ravenclaw: It’s a conversation starter.

Slytherin: That’s a lousy conversation starter.

Ravenclaw: Oh, is it? We’re conversing. Checkmate.

The Great Bot Purge 2018

douchebag-t-rex:

Tumblr is in an epidemic. The porn bot apocalypse is here. And it’s really, really, really, really, really annoying. Even more annoying than me saying really five times in a row because let’s face it:

  • To check more video, clcik here.
  • Click here to find onenight stands
  • For more more private stuff, come here.
  • Looking for fun? Join me here.
  • Howdy guy, more private stuff here.
  • Howdy bro, my profile here.

Lately the probability of finding a comment like this in the notes has gone up from 100% to a 10000% and it’s seriously impacting our user experience.

I have been here since 2010, @staff. Started out as wolf blog and in 2012 I used to share my poetry and made eight super good friends to which I am still talking today! But now what?

It’s pretty safe to say that there are a number of bot networks active on this website. The one asking for bitcoin and the aforementioned ‘looking for fun’ one for example. The bots follow a pattern and because it’s a network it should be easy to roll up.

I know we always point at @staff to fix this, but honestly, it’s not an easy fix. I know many people block bots, but do we also report and flag them? How does staff respond to flags?

Anyway, here is what I and 10,000 other people who started following this blog over the last 24 hours propose:

We purge the bots. The porn bots. All of them. This is going to be one big COORDINATED effort to destroy the bots!

For one month we are going to report and flag those blogs, and make sure we cut their profits so they don’t make enough money to support their bot network.

It’s very important that we do this as a community. This is a movement. Everyone has to join so we can limit the outcome of this battle to only two possibilities:

  1. We win this battle
  2. @staff really doesn’t give a shit

Let’s go get them! Join the army @purgethebots

I would like to thank everyone for joining our army and turning on post notifications.  

Here is how we proceed:

Our first objective is to purge the influx of ‘want to have fun?’ bots in the comments. Tumblr’s ToS allows porn blogs, so we don’t flag bot blogs for ‘sensitive content’, but rather for spam. Because that is exactly what they are doing: spamming the comments with unsafe links to shady websites.

We have two types of warriors in our army. Mobile and desktop users.

Mobile users:
If you are on mobile, your options are limited. You can only report comments.

  1.  Click on notes
  2.  Press or tap a bot comment
  3.  Select “Report”
  4.  Choose “Block" 

Your task is to report as many bot comments as possible and make a statement to @support​ and @staff​.

Desktop users:

If you’re on desktop, your mission is to flag porn bot accounts. 

  1. Click on “Notes" 
  2. Click on the avatar of the bot blog 
  3. Tap the pawn/human icon
    report > report spam > Flag & Block 

Starting August 1, a new list of ~200 post links divided by zodiac signs will be posted everyday. In order to make things a tad more entertaining, I will give the operations silly or epic titles.

Join us @purgethebots , turn on post notifications so we can coordinate our first attack and prepare yourself for operation:

BE GONE, B O T 

I really feel like im a part of something here
