Nice kids lead the way, bad kids cause chaos, I sit and listen to my music and watch the world burn

I’m back!  It seems only appropriate that I write this as my first Tip Tuesday since being unflagged is what to do when your blog is flagged explicit.  This is what I did based on posts I have read and talking with other people who have been flagged.  Your mileage may vary.

1. Don’t panic!  Seriously stay calm.  It only feels like the world is ending. Take a few deep breaths and collect your thoughts.

2. Appeal if your blog was marked in error.  So in my case, my blog was immediately flagged after I had appealed a flagged post.  Clearly a glitch.  I immediately took a screenshot of the now unflagged post with the top banner on it and a picture of my now flagged blog.  Went into Help, scrolled down to the Support button, and submitted my appeal.  NOTE:  You can only submit one ticket on the desktop but multiple tickets in the app.  Go figure.  I included details of what happened and even included a screenshot.  

3. Use the Mass Post Editor to delete questionable posts.  So once you are flagged explicit, you can’t access your archive.  Which is a bitch if you are trying to delete possible posts that caused you to be flagged.  Fortunately, there is a tool called the Mass Post Editor.  Here is a screenshot where I find it on the desktop.  

Now you won’t be able to see any of the posts but you can select up to 100 posts at a time.  Things to focus on:  GIFS and Videos.  Those seem to be what have the tendency to trigger flagging.  Your smut stories are not violations of the Community Guidelines.  I probably mass deleted over 300 posts.  Bye, thirst!!

4. Change your email address.  One tip I heard is that, especially if you have appealed before and been denied, is to change your email address and resubmit your appeal.  So I changed my email and submitted two appeals via the app because my desktop one was still under review.

5. Be patient.  I have been told that appeals can take 2-4 weeks to be processed.  This was the hardest part.  Especially when you know you shouldn’t be marked explicit.  I was flagged on a Monday afternoon (1/25), and was on unflagged on a Saturday morning (2/6), so just shy of two weeks.
