Refreshing our Community Guidelines

staff

Every so often, our Legal and Policy teams review Tumblr’s Community Guidelines to make sure they’re crisp, clear, and—most important of all—an accurate reflection of our community and its values.

Here’s a quick summary of some changes we’ve made (which you can see in detail over on GitHub):

  • Clarified our policy around promoting terrorism (don’t do it).
  • Reinforced our policy on posting non-consensual pornography (don’t do it).
  • Updated our harassment policy to reflect our improved block feature.
  • Added a dormancy policy to release URLs and archive long-term inactive blogs.

Have a look, and feel free to email [email protected] with any questions or concerns. Thank you!

Updates to Tumblr’s Community Guidelines

Today we announced some big updates to our Community Guidelines and what kind of content is permitted on Tumblr. Adult content will no longer be allowed here. While we do not judge anyone for their desire to post, engage with, or view this stuff, it is time for us to change our relationship with it.

We expect you may have some questions on how this will affect you, and we’re here to make sure those questions get answered.

When does the new policy take effect?

Our new Community Guidelines will go into effect on December 17, 2018.

Newly uploaded content flagged as adult will no longer be allowed on Tumblr. We’ll also begin flagging and removing existing adult content with the ultimate goal of removing as much of it as we can.

What is considered adult content?

Adult content primarily includes photos, videos, or GIFs that show real-life human genitals or female-presenting nipples, and any content—including photos, videos, GIFs and illustrations—that depicts sex acts.

What is still permitted?

Examples of exceptions that are still permitted are exposed female-presenting nipples in connection with breastfeeding, birth or after-birth moments, and health-related situations, such as post-mastectomy or gender confirmation surgery. Written content such as erotica, nudity related to political or newsworthy speech, and nudity found in art, such as sculptures and illustrations, are also stuff that can be freely posted on Tumblr.

🌟 New

  • The first cut of settings for communities is now available. Admins of communities can change the name, tagline, avatar, header image, tags, and description. You can find a link to these settings in the sidebar for your community on desktop, or in the context menu on mobile.
  • The community invite popup has been given a design refresh, include a counter of how many invites you have left.
  • Communities now display whether they are public or private in their header.
  • Community admins can now promote members to moderators. Moderators can delete posts, and we’re still building out the feature, so expect to see things change in the next few weeks!
  • We’ve updated the blog posts API endpoint to add the options to specify a sort order and an “after” time, to complement the current option to show posts from “before” a specific time. When using “before”, and by default, posts are sorted in reverse-chronological order (“descending”). With “after” and “sort = asc”, you can sort posts from oldest to newest instead, starting at a certain time.

🛠 Fixed

  • Since secondary blogs cannot post to communities yet, your primary blog will now always be selected when posting to communities.
  • Certain activity coming from communities, such as mentions in posts and comments, and soon invitations, now count towards your unread activity total.

🚧 Ongoing

  • We are aware of ads auto-playing audio in the Android app, sometimes quite loudly, and are working on a fix!

🌱 Upcoming

  • We are working to rename Community Labels to Content Labels across our official clients (Web, iOS, and Android), as well as Community Guidelines to User Guidelines. We hope this change will prevent any potential confusion regarding the relationship between these and Tumblr Communities.

Tumblr Support enjoyed a Star Wars- and race car-themed Tumblr Tuesday outing to G Force Karts, where we played laser tag, raced go karts, & enjoyed some craft beer!

Berny won both his go kart races AND the individual laser tag game, Matt won his rounds of go kart races, and Jim led the red team to victory when we played a teams round of laser tag. Afterward we relaxed with an awesome dinner at Kitchen 64. Fun was had by all!

Tumblr Tuesday: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom at the Byrd, followed by tacos and margaritas at Don’t Look Back. Coworker love.

Tess captured some awesome moments from the July Edition of Tumblr Tuesday!

The weather in Richmond has been hot. Thankfully, this week has cooled a bit and our comfort was increased by downing icy margaritas after enjoying an air conditioned theater all our own for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Even Dominic, who now works in the Tumblr NY office, joined in. I’m certain he visited VA just to come to our Tumblr Tuesday (sorry, NYers)! It was great to all hang out together, especially because we celebrated June’s Tumblr Tuesday in two separate groups.

Many thanks to the Byrd Theatre and Don’t Look Back for your hospitality! We had a wonderful time, thanks to you.

Having trouble logging into the app? If you have Two-Factor Authentication enabled, you are awesome and a bastion of security in an insecure world. And you will also need to follow these steps: 

  1. From your computer, click the gear icon at the top of your Dashboard, then click “Account” on the right side of the page.
  2. Under “Security,” click “Generate mobile password.”
  3. Enter your regular Tumblr account password and click “Enter password.”
  4. Enter the code shown into your app’s password box to log in.

If you don’t have Two-Factor Authentication enabled or that still doesn’t help, try restarting the app. If you’re an iOS 7 user, this means double tapping the home button and swiping up the Tumblr app. For iOS 6, click the Home button twice, and then tap and hold the Tumblr app icon. Once it begins to shake, tap the - (minus sign) to force quit.

lovelyeevee234 asked:

Hello there! So I just made a community and wanted to ask a couple questions.


  1. How will I be able to let people see my community during this beta test and in the future?
  2. Will the cap be removed or be severely bumped up once the beta test is done?
  3. If a community acts out will there be an option to report them?

wip answered:

Answer: Hi there, @lovelyeevee234!

Some great questions here. Let us answer them one by one.

How will I be able to let people see my community during this beta test and in the future?

Right now, communities aren’t listed anywhere. They’re invite-only and “hidden” by design to keep the test somewhat constrained. But in the future, there will be rich discovery experiences just like we have for posts and blogs on Tumblr today! We’re building this stuff as quickly as we can.

Will the cap be removed or be severely bumped up once the beta test is done?

Our hope is to remove the cap entirely. The cap exists as a kind of bottleneck to keep our experiment limited for now, and we already expanded it from 25 to 500 per community. However, the cap could come in handy for communities managed by a small number of people—or those that actually want to be small, which we’ve heard feedback about. The most likely outcome is that the cap will become optional.

If a community acts out will there be an option to report them?

Yes, we’re building moderation features for inside communities now. We are also building moderation features for communities themselves—so they can be reported the same way posts and blogs can be reported. Communities, overall, have to adhere to the same guidelines as everything and everyone else on Tumblr.

Thank you for your questions, and keep ‘em coming folks.
