The Parting Glass

Afternoon day cruisin❤️

In honor of the 5 year “Stilliversary” today—March 2nd, 2019—another new edit made by me that is devoted to my favorite episode of The Walking Dead—“Still.”

It’s a community. That means it’s all one fandom, all in one easy-to-find place. 

It’s moderated. You have to join to post. if somehow any antis slip in, I can ban and report them. 

Again, let me stress this: THERE ARE NO ANTIS

It’s a way to back up your content in a place where people can still find and enjoy it. One of the things that sucks most about what Tumblr has done is that we really depend on fan creators to repost their own stuff if it’s not going to eventually be lost. We can airlift orphaned work, or at least I think we should, but that doesn’t cover everything. If you create fanworks of any kind, I’m begging you, please help us preserve them. 

Threaded comments mean discussion is easier to track and easier to have in general. 

It’s new. That means it needs you. I’m posting as much content as I can and other people are posting as well, but it needs members in order to grow and flourish. You can be part of that from the very start, and isn’t that worth doing (don’t you think that’s beautiful)?

Pillowfort is, as far as I’m aware, not taking any new signups at the moment, but they should reopen for that soon. And of course they do intend to enter the open beta phase ASAP. In the meantime I’m hoping people see this and flag it for something to do when they’re able. 

“What about the underage art ban? Does that mean other kinds of art are endangered?” I’m not pleased about the ban, but I do think Pillowfort means well here. They’re just still figuring things out. I have faith that they’ll do so. In the meantime I think it’s worth being there in order to push things in the right direction and keep them honest. They’re beholden to their userbase, not advertisers, and that alone gives me hope. 

So yeah. Give it some thought, Bethylers. Hope I see you there!

Pillowfort isn't accepting new user registrations right now, but if you are interested in the site you can get on our waiting list and you will be notified when registrations are open again.

Thank you!

Your email address has been added to our list and you will be sent an email when we open registrations again’

@nobodysuspectsthebutterfly​ and I have been experimenting with the ban and this is what we know so far: 

1) If you are the OP of an incorrectly flagged post, DON’T DELETE IT! Only the OP can request an appeal. 

2) If you weren’t able to request a content appeal on your posts before the ban, you (as the OP) should be able to request an appeal now.

3) The appeal process is going VERY FAST now and it is VERY LENIENT on what is allowed. (I mean, this art on my sideblog was immediately restored, and uhhhh I don’t recommend clicking on that if you’re at work.) I’ve requested appeals on about 5 of my posts so far, and I got the approval email for all of them in about two minutes.

4) If you have flagged posts on your blog, some of them are currently “stuck” or out of chronological order on the desktop right popout blog! But you as the owner of the blog may not be able to see this! This is how you get to the popout blog: 

https://www.tumblr.com/dashboard/blog/blogname

On the popout blog, the blog owner / admin will see their posts normally, but your friends visiting the popout blog will see old posts from months/years ago mixed in with more recent posts ( @new-xkit-extension‘s timestamp extension is helpful here). The out of order posts have probably been flagged. (You may not be able to see the flag.) SO! 

Ask a friend to look at your desktop right popout blog for the first 10 to 20 posts. Your friend can tell you which posts are out of order or flagged for you to request a content appeal. 

5) You may have other flagged posts in addition to the “stuck” ones! This script might help you find other flagged posts on your blog, but it has known bugs and it will not find all of them. As I write this, we currently do not know of a way to find all of your flagged posts on your blog. 

6) The best thing to do right now is, if you see an incorrectly flagged post, message the OP to let them know their post was flagged and they can request a content appeal. 

7) If you’re an artist or photographer and you think your work isn’t going to be allowed on tumblr anymore, request an appeal anyway! It might be restored! (Seriously, this art on my sideblog was immediately restored, so try an appeal! It works!)

8) If a post is incorrectly flagged, but the OP has deleted their blog, we don’t know if there is a way to appeal the post. 

9) Sometimes if you reblog a post that’s flagged you’ll get a notification that it is flagged – contact the OP if so and let them know their post was flagged.
