Hey guys, so recently in our inbox, we got a submission about anon hate and tracking IP addresses of anon asks. Sadly, I’ve been doing some research and with the new tumblr asks, I cannot find any way to track the IP address but you can block the IP address from sending any more anon messages to your inbox. So if you are getting anon hate or say someone is taking advantage of your triggers, this is how you block an anon’s IP address, it’s simple and actually a tumblr feature:
1. Go to the message in the inbox and press the three grey dots in the corner of the message.
2. Press the block button
3. Click the blue ‘Block’ and this will block and anonymous messages from that IP address from getting sent to your inbox. You can still get sent messages from the actual account but not anonymous.
Voila! You have now blocked that IP address from sending you anon messages. It’s not a perfect fix but it’s something.

The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve.
Soon, you'll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog's author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, you’ll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.
If a reblog doesn't add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn't lose notes just because people spread it quietly.
Past notes will stay on the original post — we're only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be... a lot.
This is just the beginning. More changes are coming as we keep building this out – stay tuned!
We rolled out a significant change to how notes work on reblogs, and the reaction has been strong. We're not going to pretend otherwise.
First things first: We're reversing the change. Your feedback in comments, emails, and especially reblogs, made clear that the rollout created problems we need to address before moving forward. We also should have communicated this differently from the start, and we didn't.
We still believe there's a better version of how reblogs can work. One that gives every voice in a chain the credit it deserves. But we want to get there with you.
In the coming days we'll share more on how we plan to do that, including ways to work directly with some of you on this and future changes before they ship.
you may be thinking that some of the reactions to the tumblr update are unfounded or panicky. but i meant what i said: this will fucking destroy any artist on this site.
for your reference, i tracked down one of my original posts; which had a notes section that looked like this:
and here is what it looks like now:
holy shit. by my math, that is not even two percent of the amount of aggregate notes my writing actually has. i am not able to see any of the literal hundreds of replies, comments, or tags.
maybe this is a bit presumptuous but i consider myself to be fairly popular on this site. i still remember the first time a large blog "picked up" my work - how quickly all of a sudden i was getting seen. notes on my poetry jumped from like 10 to 300 to 3k. overnight. that was the magic of tumblr, and the incredible writing community i found here.
but now if i answer any of my fellow writers, if i say please go check this out or even if i add additional context to my own work - the artist is removed completely from their own content.
do you want to reply to an "ask game"? do you want to reply to a story prompt? do you want to just make a funny joke with your friends? well, that sucks - you might be depriving them of literally 98% of their notes.
it isn't about clout chasing. it is about giving creators control over their own materials. even a silly post deserves to be connected directly with the person that thought it up.
the tumblr feedback form is currently crashed for me, but when it's up, everyone please go (politely! calmly! like you're walking in a burning building!) tell them what you think. in the meantime: @staff @changes like... i am begging you. literally just set up a suggestion box for ideas on how to monetize tumblr, surely one of us can help you.
A role player's guide to complaining about Tumblr's latest update
Well, well, well, here we are again with a tumblr update no one asked for that makes our lives harder and this website less user friendly for creatives to use. Anyone who is surprised by this raise your hand. No one?
I know a lot of people are like "oh the RPC isn't really effected", but personally I don't think that's true. I don't know about you guys but I used the reblog notes on a thread not only to track the thread, but to keep track of the plot, or just to back read for funsies.
Now all of that is going to be so much harder... And for what reason? None that I can understand.
Anyways, let's talk about what you're here for: trying to get things turned back.
With that said please remember first and foremost that when submitting your complaint we all need to be polite. It is actually possible to be both frustrated, firm, and not a dick. As mad as we may be there is still another person on the other end of the screen reading these messages.
First and foremost is our good ole pal the support inbox. We can, and should, send our Feedback here to be filed and ignored. If you have multiple blogs, submit your feedback tickets from each one of them. Next is the post on the changes blog, supposedly staff will be replying to things posted here.
When you go to make your case remember to let them know why this is a bad idea, how it interferes with the way you use this website, how it completely changes something we adore and specifically come here for. Let them know this does restrict creativity and whatever else they're saying they don't mean to quash or restrict by changing a kind of fundamental tumblr thing. Let them know that you've looked at the new feature, tried the new feature, and despise the new feature. Also if you have any idea on what they could do instead of this god awful update let them know. Be specific, as specific as possible so that they know EXACTLY what is wrong.
Also, if you think their reply to us via the Changes blog is corporate BS then tell them. Let them know we don't feel heard, and we don't feel listened to. Point out that their own post doesn't seem to follow the new update, because last i looked i could see the reblogged comments.
We're writers guys, we've got the words to use so we might as well use them. But again, let them know this politely; Don't be a dick.

“Then it wouldn’t be very knightly of me to boast, would it? A knight should be modest.”
“But if you don’t tell anyone about your great deeds, people might think you haven’t done any at all.”
“Make ready for battle, recreant knight!”
“I’m not a recreant knight, and I won’t make ready for battle!”
“Yes, well, my own French is a touch rusty, but I don’t think you should call your lady’s nose a musique. It means snout.”
