mi tenaflyviper Instead of actually directly addressing the real problems on this site, the staff has instead decided to make it so that you cannot reblog a post if the OP has blocked you, or blocked whomever else you try to reblog it from. As far as I'm aware, it acts in a chain, but I may be mistaken. One might ask, "Why would you reblog from them anyway?. The thing is, it's often not the OP post that justifies a reblog, but the rebuttals to it later added by others. This post is an excellent example of this: It provides a wealth of information that eliminates the petty negativity of the original post. However, because the OP is a spineless mental infant, those that may wish to pass on this information are now unable to do so. What this means is that the cowardly little crybabies on this site that are using the ideal of "social justice to become the bullies they always wanted to be can basically prevent anyone they don't like from being able to question or criticize their posts, and prevent anyone from reblogging it from the people questioning or criticizing them. As far as l know, it will still give this prompt if you try to reblog it from someone else eone from even innocuous What this also does is prevent som reblogging, say, a gif photoset from someone if they've blocked you, and you're entirely unaware of that fact, or the reason for it. On a site where spoiled, entitled first-world teenagers will actually fill their FAQ pages with "people to avoid" (aka l don't like this person because they use facts, and make me feel stupid for acting like a chauvinistic toddler"), this is a very dangerous and unethic al move on the part of the staff We're talking about a site where hardly validity of what they're told, even regarding positive things. This site harbors a witch hunt mentality that will gleefully crucify anyone over even the slightest of imaginary transgressions. It only takes one person to declare someone to be a "racistsexual predatorletc., and a post can snowball to the point where someone's life is even put in legitimate jeopardy This has happened too many times on this site to count (as a somewhat recent example, remember what happened to the creator of X kit) anyone ever bothers to check the The staff is clearly not interested in the quality of the site's content, nor in the rights of its user base. The staff prefers to act like the parent who keeps giving their kid toys and sweets in order to shut them up, rather than actually tell them that their behavior is to behave wrong, and teach them how You can't even reblog yourself or anyone that reblogs from you if the OP blocks you The new system is pretty much the worst thing they could have done to it. I seriously wouldn't have considered it possible to f--- it up even more, but there you go, staff always finds a way Reblogged 1 month ago from the-smiling-pony (originally from tenaflyviper) 181 notes Source: tenaflyviper

Because it makes the Tumblr echo-chamber even more pronounced.

Literally, you can shut down and isolate anyone and anything that tries to oppose you; and it's completely ripe for abuse.

Let's say there are two users, User A and User B.
User A decides to just start shitting all over User B, calling them a racist and saying they abuse animals; then they block User B.
User B can do nothing to defend themselves, User A's post gets spread around and reblogged to the point that User B is getting harassed by other people about stuff that didn't happen.
