Okay so, as counter-intuitive as this sounds, if you’re over 18 turn Safe Mode on.
By doing so, you not only can (minorly) help others, but you can (minorly) help yourself.
1. Helping others
Okay, so we all know that posts have been wrongly flagged EVERYWHERE for being “sensitive”. Something that can be done if you’re over 18 is actually telling tumblr that a post has been mislabeled. How do you do that? Well, the first thing to do I mentioned already: turn Safe Mode on. When Safe Mode is off, you won’t be told which posts are “sensitive” or not - including your own flagged posts. However, if you have it on and you’re over 18, you’ll see this:
What you want to do is his “View post”. That will let you see the post. The next thing you’ll want to do is to decide if the post is sensitive or not. Obviously Your Mileage May Vary, but if you believe that a post has been mislabeled, scroll to the bottom of the post and you’ll see this:
Click Yup/Nope depending on the post. Hopefully this will actually DO something, but I honestly don’t know at this point. However, it’s the closest thing I can find to actually combating these mislabels, so might as well try it.
2. Helping yourself
Now this I seriously cannot believe is not shown to you if you don’t have Safe Mode on. If your own posts are flagged, you’ll have to have it on to see. When you have it on, you’ll see this:
You’ll want to hit Request review to automatically send an email to staff to review your post. Hopefully if enough people send in reviews or say that posts have been mislabeled then tumblr might do something about this.
Though obviously none of this is guaranteed to work, but this is the “system” they have for the mode >_>;;;
Long story short, all of us that are over 18 can put on our attorney badges & start defending some innocent posts :x
EDIT: I just found this for posts as well:
click that “NSFW” button and it’ll lead to another Request Review screen
