Apparently there's a shitstorm going down on tumblr where they seem to be getting rid of tags or making nsfw blogs impossible to find? Does anyone have any information on this?

It's adult blogs that are getting screened, not NSFW blogs. The info is linked in your account settings and this isn't new.

As usual, tumblr users are spreading misinformation and hyperbole.

http://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/nsfw
You should have found this in a simple google search.

Yes, but instead they asked the question here, they got their information, I heard about something new that otherwise I would have remained unaware of, and you got to play the martyr by posting a link. Everyone's happy.

Quite being a whiney little shit.

ia. Sometimes I find more relevant information from a fandom-orientated place, rather than through a google search.

they've been making confusing decisions that didn't quite match their policy, is why this all started

and they've made changes in the site without telling anyone, which is what causes the outrage

Safe mode simply lets you see NSFW. If your blog is flagged as 'adult', then you are still cut off from searches, period.

We had a thread about this recently but I don't remember what day. I bookmarked the link from that thread though: http://www.dailydot.com/lifestyle/tumblr-nsfw-content-tags-search/

This link is a prime example of the shitstorm over nothing. huzzah

They're doing all the same stuff they've been doing for a long time. http://staff.tumblr.com/post/55906556378/all-weve-heard-from-a-bunch-of-you-who-are

A shitstorm on tumblr with people jumping to conclusions and spreading misinformation about something that happened more than a year ago? Color me shocked.

This is recent. If your blog is flagged as 'adult', then it is unsearchable. Tumblr makes a distinction between NSFW (Which can be unblocked by setting safemode off) and Adult, which is completely unsearchable.

This went into effect June 2012.

does math. "Went into effect June 2012. It's now July 2013." Counts on fingers, runs out. "Yep, over a year ago."

But them taking the labeling option away from users is new. Now your blog can be labeled Adult if Tumblr feels it needs to be, and it's been hitting the tumblrs of a lot of artists.

As someone who used to co-manage an adult blog, I am baffled as to why people like you keep insisting this is new. It isn't.

Nor is it arbitrary; everything is laid out in tumblr's TOS. A blog has to have a certain amount of qualifying material to get labeled as NSFW or Adult. If artists don't like it, then they shouldn't post qualifying material to tumblr. If they do, then they choose to live with tumblr's TOS. It's really that simple.

Apparently Tumblr can flag your blog as NSFW itself, rather than having you do it. The problem is that Tumblr never tells people about new features or issues and so you have to go looking for it. Just one of the problems with its staff... http://www.dailydot.com/opinion/tumblr-statement-banned-hashtags/

Another shit stirring link based in hyperbole, conspiracy and frantic paranoia.

It's a shitstorm over nothing basically. Filtering to prevent adult material showing up accidentally made some tags *on the app* not show up and they've since fixed that

kinda irritating how tumblr explodes over every minor thing.

It's not over nothing. Tumblr is now flagging blogs as NSFW or Adult without the individual user's say so. If a blog is marked Adult, then nothing that blog ever posts will ever be visible on a public search. Ever.

If you're an artist who uses tumblr to gain new customers or a writer who does the same, you have now been cut off from being discovered by anyone but your followers. And trust me, I've seen some of the blogs flagged as "Adult"; usually, it is not warranted at all.

Then don't post stuff that will get flagged. It's great if someone is using tumblr to get new customers but it's not like that's the best or most likely way to do it, it isn't even the one with the most exposure whether the content falls under the NSFW or adult label. If those people think they have to use tumblr for exposure (which is a truly hilarious notion, btw), then they can post the work on any of the more suitable platforms and then post a link to it on tumblr. If it's getting flagged and it isn't warranted, tumblr will remove the label if the blog owner appeals the labeling decision.

Personally I prefer the ridiculous hyperbole over "radiation in Japan killing Americans"

When there's no death toll and the diagram is fake

It pisses off my scientific side.

But my more vindictive side is laughing at the paranoid Americans being all "OH NO HOW CAN YOU ALL IGNORE THIS (fake article and fake picture and fake info)"

It's fine, HERE:

Tumblr is just overreacting again

Not really. When you go into your settings for your log(s) and see the "flagged as NSFW" completely grayed out, it's understandable that people would be upset. I drew some porn, pretty safish porn cause it was very vanilla, that I reblogged from my art tumblr. It's been a few months since then and before nor after have I reblogged anything that NSFW. Yet I got flagged anyway. What if I don't WANT to be flagged for that? They took my choice away. Period.

They have now since fixed that and you can click that to "no", a few days before that, you had no choice at all.

What made that really bad is it'd flag blogs that may have labeled something NSFW that was information, or writing prompts, or food (there was a post going around for Ramadan where they wanted to use the tag NSFW to hide food since, you know, fasting an all). the blogs may be completely SFW, but still be tagged because they used that tag.

THAT was the fucking issue AND over our choice being taken away.
