[Shut off last version of this post to avoid possible continual spread of misinformation that was corrected by staff. Reposting clean with corrected info]

So I'm sure almost everyone knows about the porn bot problem by now, so here's a post detailing why it's a problem, and what we need to do about it.

First off, yes, always block the porn bots. Don't be mislead into thinking they're ok to keep around because they 'inflate your follower count.'

Firstly, no one cares about, nor can anyone even see, your follower count. Be free from the shackles that are the bullshit other socials told you was important. Don't let your ego be tied to a number. Having a lot of followers won't earn you any clout here.

Secondly, bots only follow blogs to try and legitimize their malware (and other dodgy) links. This post goes into more detail about that.

Now that that's out of the way, you'll need to know how to recognize a porn bot. This round the template seems to be:

A profile photo of a pretty lady or guy, usually in their underwear, with a similar header photo.

A bio with some combination of: [Age] // [Name] // [Location] // [Emoji] // [Top Bullshit% OnlyFans]

URL consisting of a name followed by a number (i.e: firstlast999)

Typically an empty blog, or if there is content, it's all dodgy links. Visible, but empty, Likes Tab, & occasionally a visible Following Tab.

You likely recognize the pattern.

So, what you want to do is, first, report the blog as spam On mobile it'll look like this:

On mobile you'll need to report spam first, and then go back to the menu again to block.

On desktop it will look like this, and unlike mobile, you'll be able to report spam and block in the same motion:

If I remember correctly,* be sure to "Report Spam", not "Report sexually explicit material" to feed the bots to the proper channels. Because the blog is empty, they haven't posted anything explicit that would violate TOS. However, staff can recognize a bot, and if you report the blog for spam (the actual problem) they'll take a look, more than likely find that the blog is posting or DMing dodgy links, and dispose of it.

And I think that's it. Here's wishing you all a happy and safe blogging experience!

[UPDATE: It was suggested on another post that the bots track your IP if you click on them to send more your way. However, someone from staff corrected and said this is incorrect. They also corrected the 'guilt by association' myth that bots following you can get your blog flagged by tumblr.

That said, that trail all led to another, easier, way to report/block the bots all from your Follower Tab instead of visiting each blog separately, unfortunately it only works on desktop:

(For newbies, click on the little person icon at the top right of your screen and scroll to find the Followers tab under the blog/sideblog you need to block a pornbot from.)

*I remember this information from a blog that used to be all about taking down the pornbots. Unfortunately I do not know if that blog is still active, nor can I remember the URL. If anyone knows what blog I'm referring to, and/or if they're still active, please feel free to tag them so others can follow them for more tips!

She hears the roar and looks around, wondering where it came from.

Bellows an ear splitting roar over the TL.

She has a strong tendency to point out scientific and historical inaccuracies in movies.

She is working on a scientific paper, one that has observations of dinosaurs species and their behaviors and how they affect the ecosystem. She also has notes on how they are interacting with humans and other living things and how they are affecting plants.

She could hear from the distance loud sounds. Sounds that sound almost like torture. Clearly, that vigilante was someone brutal. Someone not to be messed with. The vigilante sounds like someone who would do whatever it takes to fight crime and bring justice.

Mariya stays inside her car watching. She could see the batmobile trying to ram the SUV. She couldn't really tell what is going on, due to it being far, but she sees that the driver of the batmobile is trying to stop the SUV and bring them into justice.

Mariya watches as the Batmobile is chasing an SUV. She is unaware of what is happening. But knows it is something serious.

Mariya was driving home. She pulled over to the side when she saw the Bat-Mobile. She assumed it belonged to Bat Man.

Mariya's diary entry: The Giant Locusts

This takes place around the time of Jurassic World: Dominion.

I have been hearing reports of a new species of locust appearing in the forests. They are said to be very large, and to be very tough. Could even tolerate a of heat too.

I saw one of them while going on a walk in the park. It was eating a lot of plants. There are some reports that they only target plants not created by BioSyn. If that is the case, then that is a greedy move by BioSyn. To crush those who do not buy from it and to force others to do business with them. They should be investigated, as this would be an ecological and an economic disaster if they manage to spread worldwide. There should also be a cure found for these giant locusts, so they do not destroy the environment. Whoever came up with the idea of these locusts is very irresponsible and greedy.

"Okay. I'll go home now." Mariya noticed that the vigilante had the bat symbol. She did not know who she was.

Mariya then resumed walking back to her car, and packs her groceries in it. She then drives home.

Mariya was unaware of what happened in that alley in the past. She was just returning to her car after shopping for groceries.

"Sorry. I did not know this place was so dangerous. Mariya replied to her. "I rarely go here except when I have to go to that nearby store. I'll make sure to stay away from this place." She replied.

She notices Kaitlyn carrying flowers to a spot in the alley.

Mariya was walking around, when suddenly, she saw someone appear behind here. This surprised her.

"Hello?" She asked as she turned around.
