How to report Cyberbullying on Tumblr

If you’ve had death threats, racist slurs, or threatening speech etc. slipped into your Ask box or in a post, you can report it in addition to blocking that person. There are Terms of Service (TOS) on Tumblr all users must abide by, and if you want these people to get thrown off Tumblr, REPORT IT.

If you are a minor or you feel scared about reporting something hateful or that you don’t understand TELL AN ADULT YOU TRUST and let them help you handle it. Also, here is a general link to get to Tumblr staff: LINK

Before we do the tutorial, a few words of advice:

·        If you get a hateful anonymous message, SAVE it for reporting to Tumblr. Because NOBODY IS REALLY ANONYMOUS on Tumblr. Tumblr staff will know exactly who they are, even if they are a side blog. Tumblr will have their original signup email as well. Their ISP will also be available to Tumblr staff, which means identity is not exactly anonymous to The Powers That Be.

·        If you see someone who was bullied and want to help them, be aware that Tumblr will only take a report seriously if the person who is being attacked reports it. You can lend support by emailing Tumblr also and telling them what you saw, but if the person being attacked doesn’t want to press the matter, nothing will be done about it (although in a case that I reported, I was told that user ID was being monitored now).

·        Before you lose sight of the post, do a Control + Print Screen to capture a screenshot of the post and paste it to Word or notepad. Additionally, Tumblr is going to ask you for the link to the post, so you are going to go to the top right corner of the post and hover your mouse to where it says “view post” and click on that.  After the jump, copy the address in your browser bar and save that to Word or Notepad.

Okay, so how do you know what a TOS violation is? Click HERE. 

There is a whole page of offenses and descriptions, so you might need to scroll down to see which offense best fits what you want to report. In the case of cyberbullying, most often it will be this one:

Malicious Speech. Don’t encourage violence or hatred. Don’t make violent threats or statements that incite violence, including threatening or promoting terrorism. Especially don’t do so on the basis of things like race, ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, gender identity, age, veteran status, or sexual orientation. If you encounter negative speech that doesn’t rise to the level of violence or threats of violence, we encourage you to dismantle negative speech through argument rather than censorship. That said, if you encounter anything especially heinous, tell us about it.

There will be a link for reporting it under this paragraph. When you click on it, you will be asked for:

·        The URL of the post you are reporting

·        A short description of the offensive material and why you are reporting it

·        Your name

·        Your email address.

You should hear back from Tumblr soon. Give it up to a week. (I’m not Tumblr staff; I am just going by personal experience on reporting bullying.)

ADDITIONAL STEPS TO TAKE:

Using the link that you saved, get a friend or several friends to report it as well.  You can shoot them a PM with the link address so they can see it and bear witness to what happened.  Also, it might make you feel better to know someone else knows about it and YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
