ok but imagine peter not caring about his secret identity anymore and not making any effort to conceal it yet absolutely no one finds out he’s spiderman. peter wears the suit under his pants and a jacket but literally no one notices. he only gets a ‘cool shirt dude’ from a student he doesnt know. he does the iconic spiderman shooting-webs-from-his-hands pose in every single picture. no one says a word. he enters the classroom through the window. just as him, not spiderman. the classroom is on the second floor. no one cares.
flash is the only one who notices but no one believes him
Flash starts pulling a Candice from Phineas and Ferb where he tries to catch Peter in the act of being Spider-Man only for every plan to backfire and everyone just thinks Flash is overdramatic
A bad title for such a topic, but hey, a writer’s gotta have a hook to draw readers in, right? I don’t know the specifics of what Tumblr is looking for, but several friend’s RP blogs were deleted due to staff trying to tamp down on the p0rm blot problem. Yeah. It’s definitely a problem, but this is not a solution.
I, however, am here to help!
If you run a rp blog (or even any other blog, this applies to all of them) you might have heard the term “back up your stuff” on several PSA posts about the subject. I, like most bloggers on this hellsite, have worked hard on themes, on information tabs, on my content and writing, and would be devastated if my blog got deleted with no way to get it back.
The best you can do is save all the writing you have on your tabs as well as the theme.
I run several blogs here and there, and if you go to your blog’s home page and click the paint palette (circled in green) in the top right hand corner
it will take you to your blog page settings. Sure. We’ve all done that before.
Next, click Edit HTML> at the top left hand corner
See, you’ve got this. There should be a bunch of gibberish that you want to copy and paste. Colored white and green (even the gray bits are important), it’s code and you’re going to need this to make a page look like the blog you have.
ALL of it. Copy and paste ALL of it into a Word document, google docs, something that is NOT connected to your blog. Make sure you have the whole thing or you might have problems if you try putting it into a new blog should you get deleted.
Have pages on your blog? Do the same thing, except this time we’re going to ignore the coding and go straight for the meat
(I have a lot of redirect pages, but what we want is the /about page there at the bottom. And any other pages you want to save and not have to retype from memory when you inevitably reboot a blog wrongfully deleted.
click on it, like when you edit it, and just COPY/PASTE the whole darn thing somewhere you can keep it safe from deletion.
Again, into a word document or EXTERNAL place.
You could stop there, after you’ve gotten all of the stuff you don’t want to retype or bother with if you get deleted, but if you want to go the extra mile, I would take note of the color codes you have in certain places.
They’re the number/letter combinations in groups of 6 characters that tell the computer what color things like text, bold and italics should be, circled in green if you click the circle (highlighted in pink there for the specific thing, in this example, text color.)
Make sure to write down WHICH color code goes to which item you want colored. It is VERY easy to mix them up.
Images are easily saved if you have a specific background picture you can’t get anywhere else (like a commission or something you drew yourself (though it should be on your computer already, right?) )
I’m sure you’ve all heard of this tumblr thing and I’m not taking any chances. If by some chance this blog gets bombed here are my other blogs to reach me at:
Tumblr was deemed too full of inappropriate content to be allowed to be downloaded from the app store.
It has this “inappropriate” problem because of rampant porn ad bot accounts. The old solutions were bots to detect image sets with nsfw content, the automatically enabled safe mode, tag filtering for mobile, and wide takedowns of nsfw bots based on words used (that’s why their messages are full of numbers and symbols, to evade this)
Tumblr released their own bot supposedly capable of wiping the ad bots, but it’s taking down many popular blogs, possibly due to sheer amounts of posting or sheer amounts of ad bots in their notes. This bot was likely rushed to be put out.
You are more likely to be accidentally flagged if you post external links, as well. If your acct is taken down you CAN get it back, but it’s a pain. E-mail tumblr support for help with this. It takes down side blogs with the main ones.
I’ll be halting posts for about a week or until this problem is fixed.
