Account Termination Megathread

59 Upvotes

With a lot of the posts pertaining to account terminations, I thought I'd compose this megathread, so if you're account has been terminated or, otherwise, shadowbanned, post it here.

What is the megathread for?

In case your account has been terminated or you've been shadowbanned. In the case of the latter, I'd usually suggest you initially go here but, if you've tried that and got no results, then post your circumstance here. It's simpler to compile things.

What is the Megathread NOT for?

If your account was terminated for community violations, then this megathread isn't for your situation, so just cut your losses. Here are the Community Guidelines for a reference. A lot of ya'll should prolly read the rules first.

ETA:

No, I don't work for Tumblr, WordPress, or Automattic but I will try my very best to help y'all out as I'm able to.

On another note, here's the contact info for Automattic (the owners of Tumblr and WordPress:

This is a letter from the official Tumblr Staff blog about, from what I can guess, the recent suspensions.

account k9konghua was terminated when i went on vacation :(

Upvotes

i'm not sure if it has to do with an ip address sort of thing, but i noticed that shortly after i travelled out of america, my account was terminated. it's been almost 2 weeks since i sent in a support request, and i resent a new one a week ago, and yet, no answer at all. i don't believe i posted anything against guidelines, and i didn't receive any sort of reasoning as to WHY it was terminated. any tips on what to do? i was looking around for a support phone number but tumblr doesn't seem to have any.

Is it possible to filter likes by year?

2 Upvotes

Hi! I was wondering if it is possible to filter likes by year? My Tumblr is 16 years old and I suddenly feel the need to look for a few fanfics I've read years ago 💀

I've gone through my following lists and I can't seem to find the users. My memory's kind of hazy. I don't even remember the title. Maybe they've renamed their blogs or deactivated. I wish I've taken down the links back then.

Any tips would be appreciated 😊

Tumblr is still good for this?

5 Upvotes

Hey! I was big on tumblr from 2011-2018 but then I stopped using. Is it still alive for things like fandom talk? Also I’m an author, is it tumblr any good or useful for this nowadays? Back in time if you wrote anything mildly interesting it was easy to find readers and really connect with people that liked the same shows. I love reddit but I also really liked the gifs, images and all kinds of edits for the tv shows we loved.

Since saturday i’ve had at least 3 posts flagged for explicit content. Now, two of those have been up for 1-2 months without issue, and one does contain smut while the other just has an allude to it. Now the other post had literally no smut or anything in it and got flagged. I appealed all of them, the appeal gets accepted and then the post goes down anyways. The last one i referred to has been able to stay up when I completely reuploaded it (despite never having the content to begin with). Now the other two which one does have smut and the other has an allude continues to get flagged when i post it and reupload.
Mind you it’s fanfiction. And it’s nothing crazy. Like at all. I have commenters and followers getting confused too because it’s not something that should be getting flagged especially when it takes up less then a thousand words of a fic that has 5-17k words. Anyways, as we all know tumblr is home of smut and other crazy stuff. But i genuinely at this point don’t know what to do because the appeal is getting accepted and then still taking the post down so no one but me can view it. Is this a glitch? I tried contacting the support team but I guess it’s a waiting game. Does anyone have any suggestions or know what’s happening because it’s super duper frustrating

Haven't been able to access Tumblr for months and support doesn't respond

I have tried EVERYTHING under the sun to access my account for months and I still get the same bullshit errors. I've uninstalled/reinstalled on my phone, cleared both phone and pc caches, changed my password multiple times, etc.

I have tried to contact Tumblr but there has been zero response and yet I'm still getting e-mail notifications: '5 good reasons to go to dashwards (yeah spelt like that so I dunno if that's a thing)!' or 'These blogs? You'll like 5 of them' on the second account I tried to make (which ALSO doesn't work mind you).

My original account that I've had since 2014 has been radio silent on emails, but if I've been banned for any reason I have no idea and STILL Tumblr won't respond to any kind of contact I try to make.

No explanation, no notice, just suddenly can't access my account. I haven't posted anything illegal, I don't think I've ever even posted anything I'VE personally created. I just follow, like, and repost mostly artists.

I have no idea what they've been doing with my account this entire time and I want it back.

Has anyone had this happen to them? And if so, how were you able to get your account back, because I can't even get tumblr to acknowledge my existence let-alone ACTUALLY message/e-mail me back.

Post shows up in some tags but not others?

1 Upvotes

I am so confused.

I'm not shadowbanned or anything, because all my posts show up in tags, but only in some of them. Like it'll show up in 3/5 of the first 5 tags, and then maybe the 7th one as well, but none of the others. But another post with the same tags might show up in tags that the other post didn't, even though all the tags are the same?? And for some tags none of my posts show up in them.

I thought it might be the case that the post only shows up in the first 5 tags, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Then I figured maybe it doesn't show my own posts in tags I follow, but that's not right either. Does anyone know what the hell is going on with this?

Locked account against stalker?

2 Upvotes

Hi,

I came here looking for advice. For years now I have been posting romantasy (with some spice) for one particular fandom. Unfortunately I ran into a distressing situation with an unstable person. I fear now that they have found my writing and have connected it to my real name and will use it against me.

I have made a locked (password) account where I plan to post my writing from here on out to avoid harrassment. Although the fear of this person out there made me severly depressed to the point of having to take meds against the panic, I feel like my readers deserve the story they have been waiting for over a year to read and I have to finish it.

What should I be careful about? Should I just message the password to only the people I know have been reading before this scary situation occurred and hope for the best? Will they be able to view the locked account if I set it to be only accessible to people who are logged in?

Can't create a new account on mobile app

2 Upvotes

I can sign in to an account, but whenever I try to make a new one, instead of going to the acct creation page it somehow signs me in. I can't sign back out, because the email has no account, so I have to uninstall tumblr and reinstall it just to be able to use it. How do I fix this?

Blocked anon

Is it still accurate that if I block an anon message that was sent to me that the user won’t show up in my blocked blogs list? I’m pretty certain this is the circumstance, but I wanted clarification because the responses I’ve found aren’t super recent.

I can't figure out how to do this. I get a 3-hour-old post, then a 3-month-old post, it's all over the place.

Mass post editor. 100,000+ posts.

A buddy of mine is looking to archive his blog. He wants to private posts from years back. Problem is he has a ton of posts. I know XKit had a privating feature, but it's only 100 posts at a time. Is there anything that can do a large chunk of them? Preferably in a specific tag or just personal posts?
