Anonymous asked: Hi Modmad!! I am a recent addition to the tpoh fandom, and I am absolutely in LOVE with it! I can't even begin on how wonderful the story is and how amazing your art is! In fact the reason I come calling today is that my brother had an extra ticket to gen con this year and invited me, and I hope to cosplay RGB. I hope I'm not being silly but I wanted to make sure I had your permission to use your characters? I've never cosplayed before and want to make sure!
absolutely 100% okay with this and cosplaying any of my characters y’all go have a grand old time my buddy
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
If you’ve been active on tumblr lately, you may notice that they’ve started running a new type of ad in the right-hand sidebar unit. Specifically, there’s been an uptick in ads that auto-play loud audio, some of which are even un-mutable.
We’ve addressed this in Anti-Capitalism version 1.3.0, which adds a new option:
(small mea culpa: the naming here is slightly confusing. this will *always* remove the sidebar ad, even if it doesn’t happen to be one that plays audio, because we don’t have the ability to distinguish between them. the other difference is that it does it in a way that also takes care of the audio-visual component instead of just hiding the ad, like some adblockers have been doing)
(EDIT: yes, you’ll have to refresh the page after installing the extension/enabling the option. It sounds like this might also conflict with other ad-blockers, so let us know if you have any issues and/or try disabling other adblockers first and see if that fixes the problem)
let us know what you think! I’m probably going to be going to bed soon, but you can always reach us in our ask box, our support blog, or our live support chat. In general the dev team has less time to reply to asks nowadays because of both real-life obligations and the sheer quantity of asks we receive, so you’ll generally have a better time with the support chat, if you can catch one of us online. If nobody is online, you always can leave a message for us to read later. thanks for understanding!
(one last plug—If you’re interested in helping us run New XKit, for example by answering asks or helping other users with questions + problems, come stop by and introduce yourself! we don’t bite, we promise!)
p.s. for all of you TPoH readers who are freaking out at the recent turns of events I hope you appreciate that I’ve been having to sleep with this thing looming around in my dreams for more than a year
