How to Appeal for blog posts you can’t reach

This was probably already covered, but just in case people are still struggling with this, here’s some tips on how to go in and clean up the mess made by the incompetent staff – and Appeal to review your incorrectly flagged posts.

Note: This involves both a web browser and a tumblr app. Both are necessary for this process – there might be other ways of doing it! But this one works like this. 

So, to begin with, we need to be on a web browser – and we need to find your flagged posts. I began with my most common image-heavy tags – art tags, fanart tags, etc. I loaded them up and then used ctrl+f to search for the terms “adult content”. This makes it easy to flip through the whole page.

The thing is, when you’re just on browser and looking at your blog, the flagged posts are basically hidden from view, and it’s nearly impossible to interact with them. 

They look like this:

But see that date on the bottom? If you click on that, it brings you to what LOOKS like a dummy page…

But if you look at the url, it actually still IDs the original post.

So what we’re going to do is – we’re going to copy only the relevant part of the original post. Everything up until the ‘hey-this-post-may-contain…’ bullcrap.

Now? Now we’re going to – wait for it – email this link to ourselves! 

No, I’m serious. Trying to open the original URL on browser will just redirect, so just copy+paste the url into your email. Make yourself a nice list and email it to yourself.

Here’s what mine looked like after a comb through my SU fanart tag.

Now we’re going to go into your mobile mail app and open that up. And when you click on each link – make sure that it’s the APP opening it, not your mobile browser.

When you do this, it should bring you back to the post – this time visible! And this time, you should have the ability to appeal for it with one click – provided you have the latest version of the Tumblr app on android….

For those of you on iOS – I’m sorry, I’m not sure if this method will work. 😦 Best of luck regardless.

And a big thanks to @shotgunheart for telling me about this!!

@costumebleh try doing this, maybe it’ll work?
