Call Out Posts

What to do and what not to do.

Call out posts are a source of debate in the RPC, and while debates could go on continually about their use and necessity, this is meant to be a simple guide to what a credible call out post is for, how it should be written, and what should be done by others when they see one. Consider this a guide from people who’ve both received and written call out posts in the past.

WHAT IS A CALL OUT POST FOR?

As a last resort when communicating with involved parties fails. Only as a last resort. 

This applies to all the following examples used in this post; a lot of the fall out and emotional trauma associated with call out culture here on Tumblr could honestly be avoided if a civil conversation had occurred first.

Informing others of dangerous behavior: Call out posts are important when they’re used properly.Dangerous behavior can include:

busive behavior

instances of doxxing

nsfw content featuring minors

Informing others of dishonest behavior: Call out posts can be used to bring attention to dishonest behavior as well. For example:

when one lies about their age and are a minor (though their exact age should not be listed; instead, explaining simply that they are a minor should suffice)

blatant copying occurs-- this is a bit more difficult to post about seeing as a lot of blogs are for canon characters and headcanons between them can be drawn upon easily without any intention of copying. In this case, screencaps that convey the plagiarism of intellectual property should be a requirement

HOW SHOULD A CALL OUT POST BE WRITTEN?

Do not write a call out post when in a negative headspace.

Always back up statements with facts/sources/screencaps.

Consider ALL possible consequences of making the call out post.

Proofread, then have someone else proofread.

Share with reliable blogs.

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE IF ONE SEES A CALL OUT POST?

Verify sources.

Verify the blog that reblogged it onto your dashboard.

Consider the consequences of liking and/or reblogging the post.

DO CALL OUT POSTS HAVE CONSEQUENCES?

We live in an internet age. It's important to consider what one says and does on the internet carefully. Defamation of character occurs when libel by a perpetrator is presented repeatedly. When instances of libel are numerous enough, a lawsuit for defamation of character can occur. With this in mind, avoiding false information in call out posts is understandably important.

TUMBLR 101: HOW TAGS WORK! (May 2017)

Tags vs. Search

The tumblr search function will search the tags and captions of all new (i.e. not reblogged) posts that do not contain an external link. 

EXAMPLE: www.tumblr.com/search/perioddramaedit returns posts that mention perioddramaedit, either in the body of the post or in the tags

The tumblr /tagged/ function returns all the posts in a tag in reverse-chronological order. Popular tags on tumblr may have years worth of posts in them.

EXAMPLE: www.tumblr.com/tagged/perioddramaedit returns posts tagged perioddramaedit in the first 5 tags.

Read more about Tags vs Search

The first 5 tags!

The first 5 tags are your best bet! 

Only the first 5 tags show up in tracked tags. Tracked tags are more reliable than search if you want your content to be seen and / or reblogged.

Put the important tags (ex. show name, actor name, artist name) in the first 5 tags.

Only the first 20 tags show up in search.

Only the first 20 tags will cause the post to show up in the tag on your blog (i.e. asoiafuniversity.tumblr.com/tagged/resources)

So start with the important tags for tracked tags / search, then add tags like “my edits” or “mine” for your own blog organization, and then add FEELINGS and TAG COMMENTARY at the end. 

Only new posts will show up in public tracked tags or search. Reblogs will not show up in tracked tags or search.

Avoid unnecessary punctuation. Apostrophes ’ are ok to use, but tags with a slash / or a hyphen - or a plus sign + or an equal sign = will NOT show up in tracked tags. 

External Links

Posts with external links will NOT show up in search. 

See a list of sites that tumblr no longer allows linking.

Posts with external links WILL show up in tracked tags. So use tracked tags and put the important tags in the first 5 tags!!

Tagging Etiquette

Don’t tag your hate; it’s considered rude

If you use anti tags like #ANTI SHIPNAME, everyone who is searching for SHIPNAME will see your anti post. Don’t use SHIPNAME when creating your anti tag if you don’t want people to get upset about it. 

Don’t put something that isn’t an edit in an edit tag. People are going into the edit tag to look for edits and if your post isn’t an edit, it defeats the purpose of the edit tag. 

Don’t spam the tags. 

Reblog; don’t repost

The OP (original poster) will often read your tags when you reblog a post, so if you say something nasty in the tags, the OP will (probably) see it. Say something nice instead!
