Tumblr
Reviews and Complaints

Loved Tumblr at first. Spent much time creating blog(s) and blogging photos.

all of a sudden archive was just "gone". Looked 0n the web, no method of retrieving worked.

Sent four, detailed queries from help section. NEVER got a reply, Tumblr had a huge loss when they disallowed adult content. With all the site's technical problems they might as well shut the site down.

I'm willing to pay someone for online help in possible retrieval of lost archive as well as other serious problems between primary and secondary blogs.

EXTREMELY upset over loss of creative work that seems to be forever lost. Can't find help anywhere. Such a loss and no help. Very frustrated. Where do I go?

Hi there, I hope this note will find its way to the Tumblr offices and please allow me to know why it is that my blog has totally vanished? I don’t believe I had anymore racy photos then others on the site. A letter could have been dispatched letting me know a problem is present. Can I get back the effort and work I put in over last 6 weeks it or so. I feel stupid and ridiculous. Please correct this. And, I just checked out settings and they are wiped. Why corrections that seem like sabotage?

Best,

Rob Z.

PS: The blog went by name, HryPerv

This evening when I try to access tumblr as usual, I keep being asked to sign in (which has never happened before). Anyway, each time I try to sign in, they supply my e-mail address (so they clearly recognize me) and then supply a password but when I click on it they deny access. So I click on 'forgotten password?' and send me a re-set link. I have attempted to re-set my password 4 times and each time they refuse to accept it. I have used tumblr for about 18 months and I have my own blog. My user name is historicalnovelist (because I am a historical novelist) and my blog is called Books and Men.

Also for the last week tumblr has been preventing me from posting any pics of myself shirtless; yet at the same time there are posts of men with erect penises. This contrast is ridiculous. What do they have against me? I have done nothing wrong. Please investigate.

Today, 3rd December, I have received 2 deeply insulting, offensive and deeply homophobic posts from a blog called 10th-gallon-santahat-dahmersaur. First he re-blogs my blaize about my recent novel, then he insults me aggressively. This person is profoundly homophobic, uses hate-speech and is aggressive. I believe he should be banned from tumblr.

I filled in the appropriate from on tumblr, but was unable to send it. It just won't allow me to do so.

My name is Laurence Baillie Brown. On tumblr I am called historicalnovelist.

You can reply to me at [protected]@aol.com.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Many thanks.

I have several issues with my Tumblr account, @Highreevess

My first issue is that my posts have stopped getting attention. Over the past month, I have had steady activity on my account. I've been getting roughly eighty to a 140 notes a day. But then, overnight, my notes dropped from over a hundred to four. Activity for my account completely dropped overnight a few nights ago.

My second issue is that my comments are no longer posting. Every single time I try to post a comment on someone's post or blog, it doesn't work. I type out my comment and click reply, and nothing happens. My comment disappears and doesn't post. This happens on every single post that I've tried to comment on over the past three days. I can't even comment on my own posts, which already have comments posted by other people.

My username is sapphicsuzy, I am a lesbian and Tumblr discriminates against our beliefs.
I had my account terminated without any explanation, no emails, all against there own guidelines, I contacted them 3 times over the last week using their 'contact support' as always they ignore all correspondence. I explained I never break there rules, post nudes or anything, yet they just delete your account. They have to understand that some people have mental health issues and the likes of Tumblr is a way to feel a little better as a way of communicating and being involved when you can't go out.
I repeat, I like girls, but I never posted anything suggestive, all normal what you would see on the street or beach, and yet Tumblr make it a mission to destroy peoples morale worse still they then totally ignore you.
I would be appreciated if you could also let me know what authority regulates Tumblr ?
my email address is : [protected]@yahoo.com for further contact if necessary and is also the email address Tumblr have and ignore

Hi,

I'm reporting this because Tumblr has some glitch in their system or some problem I don't understand. They had terminated my Tumblr account for no reason and no matter how hard I tried, they didn't give it back. They said they restored it but it wasn't. When I tried creating a new account, they deleted that too. I can't even do anything. And Tumblr support won't respond to problems. This has happened to me thrice now, with my accounts being deleted and I lost all my work which I had done on them. I hope my complaint will get through and this issue will be looked into.

I messaged tumblr several times asking them to delete my account.
They did not respond.
One day i tried to log in to delete the account myself, and was told 'This email does not have an account'. So I can no longer log in.
Except if i google the account it is still live.
This is completely unacceptable.
They refuse to reply to my emails to help me.

My name is Beatriz Carvalheira and I am portuguese.
There is a tumblr profile that uses my name and dozens of my photos since I was 12/13 years old. I have tried to report it dozens of times, but the answer is always that I should own copyrights over my own photos. This is so frustrating and disrespectful. Someone stole my photos and posted and they are all over the internet and they do not care. I can show my identity card if you need, but please help me. I am having trouble finding a job because all the time they search my name those old photos appear. Please please help me. It is simply deleting a fake account.

This blogger felt the need to spread despicable hate speech about Africa. Apparently, her need to associate nothing but diseases and poverty was greater than that to be a respectful human being.
According to her, so-called royal babies are too holy, too good to step one foot on African soil as they will be plagued with diseases. This is a very wrong message to be spreading about! What reaction is to be expected if one is told to never go to Germany because Germany can only be associated with Nazism, gas chambers and, Aryan supremacy?!

Tumblr must demand that she take down the post, and give her a warning. That is the very minimum!
'Placing too much emphasis on a yes/no diagnosis, meaning you either have a disease or you don't, can lead even the most well-meaning physicians to miss underlying causes and early warning signs of illness.' -Mark Hyman

This kind of behaviour is unacceptable and must not be taken lightly. It is mean, hateful, disgusting and down right hurtful to Africans.

'An ignorant man, who is not fool enough to meddle with his clock, is however sufficiently confident to think he can safely take to pieces, and put together at his pleasure, a moral machine of another guise, importance and complexity, composed of far other wheels, and springs, and balances, and counteracting and co-operating powers. Men little think how immorally they act in rashly meddling with what they do not understand. Their delusive good intention is no sort of excuse for their presumption. They who truly mean well must be fearful of acting ill.'
― Edmund Burke,  Reflections on the Revolution in France

I have been on tumblr since 2013.. And now you have taken our right of freedom of speech. This is against everything you were for and it's disgusting. You have banned innocent blogs. We wanted to you to get rid of pornbot and pedo and nazis.. But you didn't.. Just to let you know.. You can and will be sued. You were a place for people to be safe but turned into a monster that killed itself.. You let nazis on your site and by god I hope you see this. You never listen to the people that matter. The people keeping it alive...

You are aware that many people use tumblr to support or link NSFW posts to accounts or patrons. You are literally disadvantaging thousands of individuals who may utilise their artworks as a source of income. I never thought such a developed website would be so bigoted and close minded. How dare you completely delete people passions and artworks. Arworks that inspire thousands of people to go and create and support artists. How difficult would it be to make NSFW blogs and artworks harder to achieve or find. Rather than completely erase many peoples beautiful creations. Hope your happy losing millions of people who believe that your new policies are stupid. Which they clearly are. Let tumblr forever be known as the stupid app that lost all its participants because they stupidly tried to create a "safe" website and completely destroyed thousands of artworks for their own bigoted reasons. Bye tumblr, I can guarantee you'll only be remembered as the stupid app that destroyed many artists beautiful lifestyles and works.

Some [censored]sticks who work for you at tumblr are going around and deleting people's tumblrs without warning. Causing them to lose years of work.

Cut your [censored]ing [censored]!
People's lifetime passions are being destroyed because of you [censored]!
Who do you think you are? Just going and destroying people's careers because you are angry. Stop your [censored]. Now.

My tumblr messaging AND ask box has been broken for literal years and I've submitted several help desk requests and every single time I do, they refuse to help me and then close the ticket so I can't talk to them any further about it. It's quite frankly unprofessional and unacceptable. I've never submitted a complaint about anything in my life but I see no other option at this point. I don't mean to be rude and I apologize if it comes across that way but I've run out of patience and options.

There's nothing but sexually explicit material on Tumblr, there are several pages and blogs on this site committed to fetishes, short porn videos, and other sexually explicit content displaying nudity and sexual intercourse. Because of these types of posts, I was under the impression that users were allowed to posts sexually explicit material just as long as the content is displaying consenting adults of legal age. But apparently the Tumblr staff selectively enforces a policy that clearly should apply to all users, however it's very clear they don't and seem to only target specific users in applying these written policies they have.

I have been a Tumblr member for a long time now and had a blog there and it was very popular. I had many subscribers and posted stuff almost everyday. I was signed up for only few people and actually never left any comments nowhere except my own blog. That was my life and I shared my experience with others. But then they just deleted my entire blog on which I wasted years! When I found out about that I was so angry and upset, I was just sitting in front of my laptop and crying! All my hard work was gone. I'm still getting messages from my subscribers and they still can't believe Tumblr did this. Their customer care said something about spam, but I never did anything wrong! I will never use this site ever again! They betrayed me!

Tumblr is protected under some sort of the decency act and Obama. But what does it do to protect the rights of people who are cyberbullied by internet trolls? Cyberbullying is on the rise and Tumblr should should not be protected behind some act that allows it to keep content that demeans others. It's doing nothing!
