How to tell if your blog has been flagged as explicit

The easiest method

  • Go to a postlimit checker
  • Enter your blog url
  • If you’ve been flagged as explicit, under General Blog Info your url will be listed as [nsfw] and your avatar will be pixelated 

Without leaving you blog

  • Go to settings
  • Select your blog from the bar on the right
  • Go down to the On-Blog Advertising section
  • If the On-Blog Advertising button is normal and allows you click it on or off, then you’re fine
  • If the On-Blog Advertising is off, faded, and you can’t click it on or off, then you’ve been flagged as explicit

tumblr sucked yet its the only thing people like us could ever have posted on. tumblr was a deep sea geothermal vent and we are all pallid, desperate crabs snapping at the dark toxcic nutrients spweing from its hole, and bringing us into the harsh light of the instagram influencersphere would kill us instantly. 

I study hydrothermal vents and I endorse this metaphor, especially the way it implicitly makes Yahoo a deep-sea mining company that doesn’t understand the role of vent fauna in the ocean ecosystem
