I had to reblog this. I have a story about feeding the birds during my visit to Leeds Castle. The ducks were wonderful, I love them even more and I promise I will NEVER eat them! But the geese… OMG. I just want to slaughter them and feed them to their own kind! Apparently, GEESE HISS AND THEY NAG! To think, I got chased by a few of them because they wanted the food in my hand.Ā
And, there were many jackdaws there as well.Ā Ā
But let me be honest, I had a good day at Leeds. I spent Ā£5 just to feed them and it was probably the best thing Iāve spent my money on.Ā
Something that iāve seen happening in my notifications this week is a new kind of porn blog interacting with my posts, and i want to explain WHY its so important to block them.
In the past all that would happen if a porn blog would follow you is just that, theyād follow you. It was all to do with google algorithyms where if a porn blog was shown asĀ ālinkedā or following a legitimate site/blog then it increased the place they came in the google searches. Great if you are one of those scam websites that gets people to click on links that either plant malware or are just shady as fuck.Ā Porn blogs were also sometimes shut down without warning so all the scammers hard work was over and gone. Good for us, not good for them. Most of these blogs were just stolen gifs/videos from other porn blogs anyway. If you thought gif stealing was bad/rife in the geek/nerd fandoms, just have a peep at the porn blogs.
Well a lot of the search engines etc caught onto this and built controls into their software, so they found a new way of getting (or at least trying to get) people to click on links to take them off of the tumblr site. This is by finding a random post from a legitimate blogger, which could be about anything, and either deleting the entire content of the post and adding in some ridiculous comment likeĀ āFor more fun follow this linkā with a hyperlink off of tumblr, or if its a photo that in any way is either fun/a meme/or a little nsfw, they keep that in place and just add their link like above. Scroll down their blog and literally every single post will be a reblog and have exactly the same comment on, getting you to click and take you off site.
What does this matter i hear you ask? Well, when it comes to reporting a post, it helps to confuse the tumblr bots/staff as to whatās being reportedā¦ the comment or the original post? This means that when a bunch of posts are reported, they are all coming from different originators, this will make tumblr staffās life even harder, and legitimate blogs are at risk of someone hittingĀ ādeactivate blogā in the admin settings, meaning YOU COULD LOOSE YOUR ENTIRE BLOG BECAUSE SOME ASSHOLE PORN BOT REBLOGGED FROM YOU.
So donāt ignore this kind of thing, if you see one of these stupid reblogs (the bots very rarely actually follow you anymore), BLOCK THEM RIGHT THERE AND THEN.Ā
I just went on a blocking spree of like 15+ bots, some porn some just had nothing.
But also I had to blockĀ āsomeoneā that was doing exactly this. Not just reblogging my stuff from me but from other people to add some kind of link to it. This shit is getting ridiculous. Why donāt Tumblr fix real problems like this and pedos and not stupid shit that no one ever noticed?Ā
more reasons iāve been blocking the porn blogs. half our daily new followers are botblogs. also, the porn bot follower problem has been virtually ignored at HPC for years now, and my goal has been something like blocking 100+ bot followers A DAY. i have a feeling bots follow us because we have so many bot followers.
OH! IF YOU SEE one of those āfor more cilck here!ā replies, please tell us so i can block the offending blog!
Let me tell you, this review is spoiler-free. I do not like major spoilers, to be honest. It pisses me off when people give out major spoilers ā especially when it is a game, TV show or movie I really really want to watch or play. So, I know how it feels like to read spoilers.
It has been a week since the release. We had intentions of watching it in England but we were busy castle sightseeing,ā¦
