How To Appeal A Post When You Don’t Have The Appeal Button

Since the 17th about 12 of my posts where flagged as adult content and when I went to try and appeal it there was no appeal button. I went through their help and read the whole article. I even contacted support who then copied and pasted their help page not even trying to assist me.  All I know is that there was supposed to be a button for the original creator to click and allow up to appeal but there wasn’t.

On my computer:

On the app:

See no button for appeal.

It has taken me days to figure out this work around and I thought some other people out there might be having this issue.

Now here is how you appeal your post when you don’t have the appeal button

Now go through your blog and find all your pages with censored posts clicking on them to take you to the original post.

Take a look at the url.

See that number there? Copy it!

Open up a new page and type in this:

At the end paste that number.

When you hit enter you will get this:

The appeal button is finally there! Click it!

You’ll get this message and then you’ll click appeal again.

Your post is now being appealed.

You can check that it was fixed just by refreshing your blogs page.

And that’s it! I know it is stupid and ridiculous to do such a ridiculous back method but unfortunately it’s the only solution I’ve come up with.

Also no you can’t just use the weird sidebar dashboard to find it as any flagged posts don’t actually show up at all in it.

Anyways I hope this helps you guys.

I’ve been doing this. It definitely works, but it’s REALLY clunky.

You ALMOST CERTAINLY have flagged posts that Tumblr didn't notify you about, so you should check. The easiest way to find them (and it’s kind of a beating) is to go to [yoururl].tumblr.com/archive. (ex. I’m talesofdrunkennessandcruelty.tumblr.com/archive.) You’ll be able to scroll through thumbnails of everything you’ve posted, separated by month. If anything has been flagged, then you’ll see a thumbnail graphic like the very first one at the top of this. Open the flagged post in a separate window. It will say that the post wasn’t found, but that’s fine. All you need is numerical listing that’s in the link. Copy that then follow the instructions above.  Sometimes it takes a second or two for the post you want to load, so all you’ll see initially is your dashboard. GIVE IT A SECOND, and you should see the flagged post along with the option to appeal. I really hope this helps someone.

How do I find flagged content?

I just got an email from Tumblr saying “you recently uploaded content onto your Tumblr, talesofdrunkennessandcruelty, that has been flagged as adult content.” This is a SFW blog, so I can’t imagine what they removed, but I’ve gone back through all my posts since Halloween. I don’t see ANY content that’s been flagged. I’ve got 28,029 posts (including this one.) It will take WEEKS to search every last one. Are there any better ways to find what was flagged? I don’t know why I bother since I stopped posting on December 17. I guess it’s the principle. Meanwhile, I’ve gotten close to 100 new followers since then AND ALMOST ALL OF THEM are spambots. Tumblr hasn’t done a THING about those…or the thousands of fakes/hoaxes/spammers/scammers I’ve reported/blocked in the past. They just care about nipples, apparently……..

Update

The easiest way to find flagged content is to search through your archive. (ex. talesofdrunkennessandcruelty.tumblr.com/archive) If you look closely as you scroll down, you’ll see a post that says it was removed BUT if you click on the post it’ll take you to a dead link. So you STILL have to scroll manually through EVERY POST on you Post screen (ex. www.tumblr.com/blog/talesofdrunkennessandcruelty) until you get to it. Also, my “recent upload” was a story and pic I linked to 4.5 months ago. I’ll let you judge how “adult” it is for yourselves...
