December 17th 2018 Tumblr Ban: What we know so far

@nobodysuspectsthebutterfly and I have been experimenting with the ban and this is what we know so far:

1) If you are the OP of an incorrectly flagged post, DON’T DELETE IT! Only the OP can request an appeal.

2) If you weren’t able to request a content appeal on your posts before the ban, you (as the OP) should be able to request an appeal now.

3) The appeal process is going VERY FAST now and it is VERY LENIENT on what is allowed. (I mean, this art on my sideblog was immediately restored, and uhhhh I don’t recommend clicking on that if you’re at work.) I’ve requested appeals on about 5 of my posts so far, and I got the approval email for all of them in about two minutes.

4) If you have flagged posts on your blog, some of them are currently “stuck” or out of chronological order on the desktop right popout blog! But you as the owner of the blog may not be able to see this! This is how you get to the popout blog:

https://www.tumblr.com/dashboard/blog/blogname

On the popout blog, the blog owner / admin will see their posts normally, but your friends visiting the popout blog will see old posts from months/years ago mixed in with more recent posts ( @new-xkit-extension‘s timestamp extension is helpful here). The out of order posts have probably been flagged. (You may not be able to see the flag.) SO!

Ask a friend to look at your desktop right popout blog for the first 10 to 20 posts. Your friend can tell you which posts are out of order or flagged for you to request a content appeal.

5) You may have other flagged posts in addition to the “stuck” ones! This script might help you find other flagged posts on your blog, but it has known bugs and it will not find all of them. As I write this, we currently do not know of a way to find all of your flagged posts on your blog.

6) The best thing to do right now is, if you see an incorrectly flagged post, message the OP to let them know their post was flagged and they can request a content appeal.

7) If you’re an artist or photographer and you think your work isn’t going to be allowed on tumblr anymore, request an appeal anyway! It might be restored! (Seriously, this art on my sideblog was immediately restored, so try an appeal! It works!)

8) If a post is incorrectly flagged, but the OP has deleted their blog, we don’t know if there is a way to appeal the post.

9) Sometimes if you reblog a post that’s flagged you’ll get a notification that it is flagged – contact the OP if so and let them know their post was flagged.

I am writing this post at 3:50AM Eastern Standard Time on 12/17/2018. The information I have listed here may change with time.

Anonymous asked:

What do you think Sherlock finds most *dear* about Molly?

thehiddenlawyer answered:

Where do I begin?

The fact that she tries to crack jokes even in the most inappropriate circumstances.

The fact that she glows when he complements her or trusts her with something vital.

And mostly, the way she simply asked what he needed when his world was falling apart. She believed in him when he even doubted himself.

GREAT SEA STORY

The passenger steamer SS Warrimoo was quietly knifing its way through the waters of the mid-Pacific on its way from Vancouver to Australia. The navigator had just finished working out a star fix and brought Captain John DS. Phillips, the result. The Warrimoo’s position was LAT 0º 31’ N and LONG 179 30’ W. The date was 31 December 1899. “Know what this means?” First Mate Payton broke in, “We’re only a few miles from the intersection of the Equator and the International Date Line”. Captain Phillips was prankish enough to take full advantage of the opportunity for achieving the navigational freak of a lifetime.

He called his navigators to the bridge to check & double check the ship’s position. He changed course slightly so as to bear directly on his mark. Then he adjusted the engine speed. The calm weather & clear night worked in his favor. At mid-night the SS Warrimoo lay on the Equator at exactly the point where it crossed the International Date Line! The consequences of this bizarre position were many:

The forward part (bow) of the ship was in the Southern Hemisphere & in the middle of summer. The rear (stern) was in the Northern Hemisphere & in the middle of winter. The date in the aft part of the ship was 31 December 1899. In the bow (forward) part it was 1 January 1900. This ship was therefore not only in:

Two different days, Two different months, Two different years, Two different seasons But in two different centuries - all at the same time!
