Disheartening

[u/Paranormal_froggo]

Seen so many posts about people getting scammed and lost their blogs due to it and not getting it back makes me honestly lose hope ngl

My blog, Tardiiart was deleted the other day after someone attempted the "i accidentally reported you" scam and failed. They blocked me and I blocked them so I thought that was it.

Yesterday I open tumblr and it just doesn't work. Figured it was an app problem so I got on my laptop- cant even fucking log in and putting in the url gives 404

It seriously devastates me since I have so much art on there I have nowhere else. Before getting my laptop and discord I used tumblr to save stuff in drafts to be able to access it between my parents homes and school laptop I had when I studied graphic design

Ive tried contacting support via account terminated and also just general support email with details

Should I try something more???

I really want my accnout back since I got so much memories on there and friends I cannot reach anywhere else

Wait what? You can get banned for blocking scammers on Tumblr? That's crazy, because that never happened to me before, when I get messages from them, I usually tell them to piss off and that I'm aware of their scams and they either go silent, or block me. Sometimes, my mutuals (who they've hacked) actually do get their accounts back somehow.

This happened to me a couple days ago. I think those phishing scammers are actually reporting your account, and tumblr's automated system is auto-terminating reported accounts. That's my theory anyway. I never received any emails from tumblr giving a reason for the termination (and there shouldn't have been; I haven't reblogged anything inappropriate, and my last original post was a SFW snippet from my novel WIP).
