not a man, but a cloud in trousers

the tumblr report and appeal systems really are busted beyond all comprehension. I reported someone for advertising themselves as an 'anorexia coach', which is and has always been extremely bannable, and immediately got an automated response saying it didn't violate ToS. I sent another report hoping to trigger a human review, and got another instant 'this blog doesn't violate ToS'. I went through the process to appeal a moderation decision, and a couple of hours later received at exactly the same time: 1. a message informing me it wasn't a valid appeal because I had never filed a report about that blog in the first instance (??) 2. a message in reply to one of my rejected reports thanking me and informing me the blog had been taken down.
