IF the mature content label says "potentially" then it was applied automatically, and every reblog will also have it applied automatically.
If it DOES NOT say "potentially" then then poster labeled it herself and it will not do that
If it DOES NOT say "potentially" and ALSO does not have the "hide" button next to it then it is the special tamamoland exclusive mature content flagging they gave me that put that on all of my posts no matter what separately from the actual content labels
blogs can also be flagged as mature which is a separate thing from content labels AND a separate thing from the special tamamoland mature flagging
you cannot manually add content labels to a post if you did not add content to the post
NOT the same thing as mature content
tumblr's definition of sexually explicit content is specifically visual depictions of sex acts, genitals, and fluids like cum
this does not include non-visual depictions of anything, nor does it include nudity
importantly, none of that actually matters because who and to what it applies to is entirely arbitrary as you have seen
posts that are flagged as sexually explicit are fully hidden
they can arbitrarily terminate your account for explicit content which is itself arbitrarily applied to posts regardless of content and also does not actually require you to have any posts that are flagged as explicit and also appealing a post that is flagged as explicit can itself get your account terminated
individual reblogs of a post can be flagged as sexually explicit regardless of whether any content was added to the post, which tumblr likes to do to me
you are supposed to have a chance to correct or explain infractions before being terminated. this will never happen
if the blog name has -deactivated after it then it was done manually by the user. it may not have this if the url was at the character limit
if the blog name does NOT have deactivated then the account was terminated
if the user was TMA there is a good chance that instead of the account being terminated, she will get an extra special type of termination colloquially known as a nuke
posts can also be nuked, which removes all the media from them and deletes the post and all reblogs of it, all of which can be done individually as well. they have the ability to do this to posts instead of nuking accounts. keep that in mind. they can also do each part of the nuke independently, e.g. just hitting certain images on the post, or just deleted all reblogs
an account being nuked has all of its posts nuked. all of its posts are deleted. all reblogs of those posts are deleted. the pfp and header and such are all deleted. all media on any post it made and any reblogs of those posts is deleted. your presence is fully scrubbed from the site
any sort of termination removes all of your replies and prevents further replies on your posts
nuking does not hit posts that are in other people's drafts or queue, which is why you will still occasionally see them. the media on them will be deleted regardless, however. the post button won't always work, you will have to post them from the editor or let the queue reach it automatically
they do not tell you what content was in violation unless a specific post got nuked which gets you a url. they only actually use that option if you are harassing a transfem, though
there are no bans. ban evading is not a thing because there are no bans to be evading
sometimes they don't even bother to send you a termination email
whenever you see nazis and suicide baiting and other shit like that going on for weeks or months, just remember: tumblr staff isn't so swamped with reports that they can't nuke a random transfem within 10 minutes of account creation
you can appeal your termination if you were terminated somehow for harassing a transfem
they reinstated the fucking kiwi farmer
the zendesk ai treats pretty much every support ticket from a terminated account as an appeal request so good luck getting to talk to a person about it
you can also be what's known as "shadow banned" which quietly disables most of the site's social features, such as messages. and replies. and being able to access your inbox. and showing up in people's notes. there is no indication of this other than its effects
tumblr can through some automated means terminate the accounts of every TMA person specifically that is following a specific user with like 99% accuracy. they've done this twice that i know of
the user guidelines don't actually mean anything because they end with a disclaimer that says that tumblr can arbitrarily choose when and where and how they get enforced and can take disciplinary action against accounts for any or no reason, meaning you can be nuked for literally no reason or be able to do anything you want with little or no repercussions, entirely at staff's whim
