A collection of whatever tickles my fancy. Shameless plugging, lots of Pokemon, Monster Hunter, League of Legends, video games, Disney, Doctor Who, Supernatural, Game of Thrones, Sherlock, romantic things, funny things, etc, etc.
A quick update on one of our priorities right now: Getting rid of spammy followers.
We’ve recently made a lot of headway, including shutting down several large spam rings that were responsible for most of these spammy follows.
We’re always improving our algorithms to catch these annoying bots, but one of the best tools we have are your reports. If you ever catch someone spammy following you, you can use this icon to report them:
Not only will you stop that bot from bothering anyone else, you’ll help our team catch thousands of stupid bots just like it. (Easier reporting is coming soon to our mobile apps too.)
Thank you for your vigilance, Tumblr.
I’m going to agree with what lots of other users are saying and please, please add a feature that we can report without actually needing to go to the blog. I hi entry stopped reporting simply because I was so sick of needing to go to some hardcore porn blog and seeing things I really never needed to see in my entire life, just to block someone. When someone with a naked girl in the icon follows me, I know it’s spam, I don’t need to go to their blog to find that out.
