more tumblr nonsense

mercuryhatterI just logged back in to my tumblr account to delete it and found that, after I manually unmarked it as explicit several days ago when the site was freezing me out from the messaging and ask functions, that it had been remarked as explicit permanently. (At least as permanently as the shitty code will allow, I'm aware of the glitch that lets you undo this.)
I had marked my blog as adult content at least a year ago, possibly more (I forget when exactly I created this incarnation, as I've had like seven tumblr accounts since 2010). My reasoning was partially the fewer people who can follow me the better (I'm just Like That) but also partially that I knew I posted about things like my mental health crises and other text-based topics that I didn't want the responsibility of teenagers seeing. I had never reblogged or posted sexually explicit image material to my blog.
I don't know if they re-flagged it because it had been flagged before and me turning off the flag meant nothing to them, or if the robots went wild on my selfies and other vaguely flesh-toned images. I didn't bother to find out because I was just there to delete the thing anyway. But if I needed validation of my decision to leave tumblr... well, lol.
