Iā€™m gonna save this backup blog just in case crap hits the fan again (heaven forbid), and keep backing up my posts on Wordpress.
So my stuff from 2013-2018 is here: https://murf.home.blog/
And my stuff from 2018-2021 is here: https://murfbackup2.wordpress.com/
(I can't have them on one blog cuz Wordpress' free storage limit's 3GB, and I use waaaay more than that. XD)
Murfeelee Account Deletion
ACK! I got hit!
Hi, Simblr community. Murf here, from murfeelee.tumblr,com
As I effing expected, Tumblr terminated my account today too, over the exact same nonsense that recently hit @katsujiiccfinds here and @desiree-uk here.
I contacted @staff at Tumblr Support about it today, and even tried to make a backup account to tell yā€™all about it earlier today, but Tumblr banned that account too, so now Iā€™m trying to get BOTH accounts back, FML.
This frikkin SUCKS, Tumblrā€“WHY are yā€™all making it so dang hard to make people want to even BOTHER with this site anymore? PLEASE do something about these nasty instant-terminationsā€“at least the Flagging system warns us in advance, and just hides posts that arenā€™t allowed anymore, so do the same thing for posts with hyperlinks to outside websites you donā€™t want us linking to and clicking!!!Ā 
How is it acceptable that are you are insta-banning simmers for reblogging content yā€™all LET US reblog in the first place? Itā€™s THE SIMS, Tumblrā€“weā€™re not reblogging anything graphic or hateful or anything; weā€™re just trying to play with virtual Barbie dolls. (What on earth did that site (starting with a D) which shall not be named even do? O_O It was YEARS OLD reblogs of LACE DOILIES, DECORATIVE AIR CONDITIONERS, and GLASS FURNITURE, for crissakes! HIDE THE CHILDREN!)
I actually tried to delete the compromised posts on my CC Finds sideblogs, but lo and behold, the stupid posts wouldnā€™t even delete, and kept popping back up!
(Fun fact: I couldnā€™t even get my account termination letters at the Contact Support page to go through ā€“ I had to keep resubmitting them before the buttons would stop getting stuck in an endless loopā€“like REALLY? I canā€™t even do what you all tell us to do @staff. Itā€™s not even watching what we reblog (the whole frikkin point of Tumblr, jfc) ā€“ itā€™s watching what weā€™ve ALREADY reblogged and are trying to get rid of, that can set Tumblrā€™s trigger-happy algorithm off.
So yeah, thatā€™s my frikkin life right now, yā€™all. (ļ¼ā€øįƒš)
Just in case they ban this account too, y'all can still see my archived CC posts at the Wayback Machine: (it might load super slow at first, at least for me it did?) Build/Buy Page: https://web.archive.org/web/20210125145904/https://murfeelee.tumblr.com/sims3cascc CAS CC Page: https://web.archive.org/web/20210125145904/https://murfeelee.tumblr.com/sims3cascc
And my SFS backups are all here & here.
Thank you to everyone whoā€™s reaching out and letting people know, both here at Tumblr and at Mod The Sims!

Yeah, I havenā€™t heard anything from @staff after sending tickets to @support both last week AND this week. IDK if theyā€™re dragging their feet or what. And Toreno-wertyā€™s simblr @three-stars-ranch was deleted last week, too, and hasnā€™t been restored yet either. So weā€™re all just waiting and hoping we can get our account access back.
Until I can get all my stuff reposted on a totally different platform (Iā€™m still working on which one itā€™ll be on), y'all can still see my archived CC posts at the Wayback Machine: (it might load super slow at first, at least for me it did?)
Build/Buy Page: https://web.archive.org/web/20210125145904/https://murfeelee.tumblr.com/sims3cc
CAS CC Page: https://web.archive.org/web/20210125145904/https://murfeelee.tumblr.com/sims3cascc
And my SimFileShare backups are all here & here.
Whereā€™s @murfeelee ? Iā€™ve been trying to find their tumblrs for a bit because I wanted to download something and I canā€™t access them. I hope the damned @staff hasnā€™t purged her. Damn you Tumblr

Hey! How're you doing? I have a question about something that Deniisu told me, but she didn't know how it could be done, and that you might know!
How can you evict buttons from getting distorted when adding morphs?
Really don't know how, and you have no idea how it would help me and her, since buttons are the devil when converting stuff!
(Sending an ask and not a PM just so other people can know this info, if you have it, of course!)
ā˜½āœ¶ā€¢.Āø(āœ¶ā€¢.Āøā˜…Āø.ā€¢āœ¶Ā“)Āø.ā€¢āœ¶Ā“ā˜¾ ā˜†Ā«Ā“ĀØ`ā€¢Ā°Ā°ā€¢Ā“ĀØ`Ā»ā˜† Ā  Ā ā˜½.Āø.ā€¢āœ¶(Āø.ā€¢āœ¶Ā“ā˜…`āœ¶ā€¢.Āø)`āœ¶ā€¢.ā˜¾
Welcome to Murfā€™s School of Crap and Crap-Making!
School Motto: Prepare to be tortured! For Science!
Lesson #22: Loosen Up My Buttons, Babe! ā™Ŗā™«ā™¬
ā˜½āœ¶ā€¢.Āø(āœ¶ā€¢.Āøā˜…Āø.ā€¢āœ¶Ā“)Āø.ā€¢āœ¶Ā“ā˜¾ ā˜†Ā«Ā“ĀØ`ā€¢Ā°Ā°ā€¢Ā“ĀØ`Ā»ā˜† Ā  Ā ā˜½.Āø.ā€¢āœ¶(Āø.ā€¢āœ¶Ā“ā˜…`āœ¶ā€¢.Āø)`āœ¶ā€¢.ā˜¾
Buttons are indeed the devil, especially when they're just painted-on textures, in which case forget about it. XD
But if they're 3D buttons, Iā€™ve found that directly editing the group_fat mesh morph itself worked, when things like buttons distort when adding fit/fat morphs. Even with the god-tier Mesh Toolkit, which automatically assigns morphs based on...IDK witchcraft or something, manually tweaking morphs is still sometimes necessary.
Tumblr media
So, what I did was open the morphed outfit with 3D buttons in question in TSRW, Export the mesh, and Import it into Milkshape.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then Hide the group_base mesh and all of its morphs, so that the only one visible is group_fat.
Tumblr media
Select the vertices for the buttons that are distorted.
Tumblr media
Scale the buttons down (by click/dragging the mouse till you see it change shape & size) so that they return to a more spherical shape thatā€™s less oblong and distorted. Rescale them so that they shrink horizontally, and don't look so stretched.
Tumblr media
Export the mesh from Milkshape, and Import it back into TSRW.
Tumblr media
Click NO at the popup window about optimizing the vertex data.
Tumblr media
And click Yes to update the Bounding Box.
Tumblr media
And the buttons will be fixed!
Tumblr media
You'll likely want to repeat the steps for the Medium Level Detail group_fat lod, and Low Level Detail group_fat lod. But honestly, the buttons are likely to look misshapen by default in lower detail anyway, because of all the lower polys. :\ It really doesnā€™t matter with the other LODs.
Just Export your new clothes, install, and viola!
If anyone has other tips and tricks about editing morphs, please share! (Cuz yā€™all know I hate CAS CC, lol).

Simblrpocalypse and Tumblrā€™s Flawed Banning System: An Aggregate
In light of the ongoing instant-bans that have been targeting numerous Simblr accounts lately, Iā€™m curious: exactly how many of us in The Simsā€™ videogaming community have been hit by Tumblrā€™s inept bans before?
Regardless of when it happened (last week or last year, it still happened); regardless of whether you successfully got your account restored or not; and regardless of whether @staff gave you any explanation why or why or not--how many of yā€™all have suffered from Tumblrā€™s automated bots and algorithms flagging your account and terminating it without warning?
Recently, more and more simmers have been asking questions about what can be done, not just to restore lost accounts, but most importantly: how to protect current accounts that could still fall victim to automatic termination. It is a sad state of affairs when the community has to educate ourselves, left in the dark with nothing but radio silence, when @staff @support themselves does nothing to promptly answer tickets submitted toĀ https://www.tumblr.com/support, and fail to take adequate action by providing meaningful ways to help its user base with proper safeguards, algorithmic responses (warnings, etc.), or community-wide public outreach when asked directly about the situation.
As Tumblr drags its feet in silence, more blogs can be shut down with none the wiser for it. Some blogs are never recovered or return, and if not for @katsujiiccfinds here and @desiree-uk here coming forward with details about their own account terminations, the Sims community would have likely never known about the potential threat of certain rebloggable outbound links that can cause automatic terminations. But as seen in cases like mine here, sometimes being forewarned doesnā€™t necessarily guarantee being forearmed. And in cases like @three-stars-ranch & @studiok2sims last week and @darkccfinds & @mspoodle1 last year, and so many more simblrs in-between--they had no clue why their accounts were suddenly banned without warning--with accounts like @aisquaredchoco and @studiok2sims being restored just as suddenly and also without any explanation.
This is a totally unacceptable way to run a social media website and treat oneā€™s user base, and something must be done.
So please, Simblrs, tell us about your experiences with Tumblrā€™s banning/flagging automated system. Comment, reblog, and share with us, so that more simmers can better understand what to do to in such circumstances, when @staff @support clearly canā€™t be bothered to do their jobs, and rely on busted codes and bots to handle matters for them.

Yeah, itā€™s been 3 days and I havenā€™t heard anything yet. Hopefully @staffā€‹ tells me whatā€™s going on soon and restores my account, or Iā€™m screwed. Cuz itā€™s not just my main blog, but all my sideblogs: CC Finds blogs, personal blog, inspo blog, fandom blog--everythingā€™s gone.
I need to move my CC to either Wix or Weebly or something, so Iā€™m testing them out to see which one I like better (I hate them all TBH, this effing sucks). Itā€™s going to be VERY slow, as I just have way too much stuff, and zero free time to deal with any of this. U_U
Iā€™m so mad I could spit.
Hi! Sorry for asking you but I can't find any news anywhere else, but what happened to murfeelee? All of her blogs are gone
Yes, unfortunately the @staff decided to delete her blog a couple days ago
Tumblr media
In this post that I reblog explains it herself. For now what I know is it's still deactivated, but you can find her on her new Tumblr account @murfeelts3
I just hope she gets it back as soon as possible intact, safe and sound

@staff I was just reminded that @studiok2simsā€‹ was also deleted recently (luckily they got restored soon after). There is a serious user vulnerability issue occurring recently with certain reblogged outbound links. Please do something to help us @staff, not punish us.
@staff The decision to remove @toreno-werty and @murfeelee come across my feed this morning. I am tagging you @staff in the hope that you'll reconsider the removal of the account in question and reinstate both @toreno-werty and @murfeelee in full. These blogs have been irreplaceable to the community and I am confident that I am able to speak for all of us in saying that this has been an error in judgement. A successful platform isn't made by chasing away the people who come to it in good intentions, whether that be comfort, entertainment, support, or friendship, all of which this particular community has in one way or another. We have had several blogs removed during the past few years in error, and it has caused innumerable people to leave due to work being lost. I am asking in a professional and respectful manner that this error be fixed as soon as it can be managed by @staff.
To add to this I have seen several friends of mine get hit by this nonsensical attack and violation of personal privacy, personal freedom and rights. What you @staff need to realize is that this is people's personal data and deleting/removing it without warning or giving them the chance to remove offending posts IS a violation. Please rectify your system and allow people to keep their pages before removing them entirely without warning.

Holy crap, I forgot you got deleted too--by the time I heard, you already had your blog back. XD
I havenā€™t been told anything by Tumblr yet, but I know for sure it was because of the dodgy link/site which shall not be named, cuz I was trying to delete the posts/links on my sideblogs when the whole account shut down in front of my face. The problem site had made a very popular set of decorative doilies & air conditioners, so thatā€™s how I was able to find the rebloogs on my sideblogs.
Apparently @three-stars-ranch wasnā€™t told anything either.
The posts are NOT Flagged, so they donā€™t throw up any warnings whatsoever--you just get deleted instantly the split second the link is clicked--you canā€™t even type in the URL, cuz itā€™ll automatically hyperlink and cause a ban. Itā€™s the worst system ever, and @staff needs to do something about it STAT.
A serious question...
Myself and a number of other simblrs recently got hit with theĀ ā€˜random unnotified purgeā€™.Ā  I see a number of people posting comments and reblogs saying itā€™s due toĀ ā€˜links to dodgy cc sitesā€™.Ā  Firstly - how do you know?Ā  I personally was never given any contact to tell me what the reason was.Ā  Were you?Ā  What did it say exactly?Ā  Secondly - how are you knowing what post/link is the offending one so you can amend it or delete if necessary?
I remember when this whole nanny-algorithm was put in place, there was a link in the side bar that indicated you had flagged posts, but no longer.Ā  And I also remember you could check via your history, which I did.Ā  I see no posts marked as being an offender.Ā  So, I implore you - pray do tell how you all are knowing what the issue is and finding this offending posts/links?Ā  I rarely reblog and the only links I post are to credit CC Iā€™ve used.

Simblrpocalypse (Weekend Replies)
Rather than me having a good time on my main Sims 3 simblr account (murfeelee.tumblr.com which recently fell victim to Tumblrā€™s insta-ban spree)--posting my regular Weekend! Replies!, queuing up gameplay posts & TS3 CC--instead Iā€™m hunkered down in the trenches tryna decide WHAT DO DO NEXT.

I feel like the entire sims community needs an emergency location where we can all meet up post Tumpolcalypse. I hate the thought of our little community being purged and culled with no way to get back to each other. Ridiculous!
Even if/when Tumblr restores my account, and the accounts of fellow simmers who are being sniped (I just heard that Toreno-Werty got banned yesterday, too @three-stars-ranch WTF--not to mention everyone else who told me about their bans), thatā€™s not going to solve the underlying problem with this hellsite.
Itā€™s been increasingly obvious that Tumblr and @staffā€™s reliance on its fundamentally flawed and BROKEN algorithm have alienated and downright driven away whole swathes of its user base. The infamous Dec17 Tumblrpocalypse first started purging the site of all kinds of content, to pander to Appleā€™s apps (which whaddaya know is neck-deep in an antitrust lawsuit vs Epic Games for bad business practices).
Sinking Ship: Tumblr/Simblr Alternatives?
Ever since December 17th, Tumblr users have seen the mass flagging, shadowbanning, Sensitive Content soft-bans, and instant termination of posts and accounts at large, which have led to several exoduses off of the platform for different, safer microblogging alternatives.
The Simsā€™ community of videogamers for TS1, TS2, TS3 and TS4 also fell victim to Tumblrā€™s nonsense, and numerous posts circulated ideas about the simblr community needing to move elsewhere, or better yet: creating out own Sims blogging website, some even making kickstarters to try creating one.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Unfortunately, these ideas werenā€™t able to get off the ground, as itā€™s EFFING HARD to run a website--costly, complex, and thankless to boot. Weā€™ve all seen the constant pressure put on SimFileShare to carry the entire simming community all these years, as a Sims-specific FREE filesharing host for our terabytes, petabytes, exabytes, zetabytes, and yottabytes of CC.
Tumblr media
One of the main deterrents to simblrs not leaving Tumblr as we rightly shouldā€™ve, is the plain simple fact of the matter that every alternative lacked some feature or another that Tumblr excels at. Be it site features (reblogs, tags, mentions, themes, media hosting, site import/export); integral user innovations (New X-Kit); the free and easy access (versus paywalls on Pillowfort & co.), we have all been trapped in this abusive relationship with Tumblr, for want of a better place to go.
Unless a better website is made, either by us or someone else, weā€™re stuck here. So what can be done about it?
Tumblrā€™s Auto-Bans, and the Reblogged Link Fiasco
The main allure is Tumblrā€™s large community presence & participation itself. The Dec17 Tumblrpocalypse lost Tumblr 1/3 of its entire user base in one fell swoop. There are tens of thousands of Simblrs across The Simsā€™ games. But crazy enough, these arbitrary auto-bans are ruining the one thing that kept us here--whatā€™s the point of sticking around if you or someone you follow can get INSTANTLY kicked off the site under these spurious flaggings!? Especially if Tumblr does EFF ALL to make sure it doesnā€™t happen again?!
ny-sims reblogged your post ā€œMurfeelee Account Deletionā€
@staff soooo are you keeping this same energy for the racism, homophobia, or sexually graphic content too??? How many accounts will be deleted without notice before yā€™all fix the problem??? šŸ™„šŸ™„šŸ™„šŸ™„
So I have zero confidence that merely getting our accounts back will fix things--the OLD links/posts are still out there; having been reblogged dozens if not hundreds of times. Innocent simblrs are being shut down left and right lately--one site gets restored, and two more get banned the next day. This is LITERALLY what happened to me, Desiree-uk, and Toreno-Werty, within HOURS of each other.
Tumblr media
https://three-stars-ranch.tumblr.com/post/658800265616588800/hi-guys-its-me-toreno-werty-today-for-some
Even if Tumblr bothers to contact you, and deigns to grace you with an actual explantion, rather than leaving you in the effing dark, lately itā€™s tended to be because of reblogged links
xldkx replied to your post ā€œMurfeelee Account Deletionā€
they'll hit you if you reblog anything with adfly on it. be careful. also they do not like outbound links bc your stuff gets shadowbanned in the tag.
Exactly. And one outbound link in particular:
Tumblr media
https://desiree-uk.tumblr.com/post/658600853646770176/my-account-has-been-restored
Reblogs, by their very nature, are PERVASIVE, so what do we do when years -old reblogged content is buried deep in our blogs--partcularly those links that are not immediately apparent to even be from flagged sites????
Tumblr media
ny-sims replied to your post ā€œMurfeelee Account Deletionā€
@staff itā€™s 2021 yall.. there has to be a better way to filter content. Deleting entire accounts is extreme af! And on top of that. The Sims community is a big reason for Tumblrs survival. Letā€™s be real, not many use this damn site anymore šŸ¤·šŸ½ā€ā™€ļø idc idc!
ktarsims reblogged your post ā€œMurfeelee Account Deletionā€
This is absurd. If an old reblog contains bad content, canā€™t you just delete the original post and all reblogs? Or are your moderation tools so poor that you canā€™t? Banning whole accounts for old reblogs which are glitchy and canā€™t even be deleted is ridiculous. #tumblr fails
catbrokensims3 reblogged your post ā€œMurfeelee Account Deletionā€
This is just so disheartening. I donā€™t understand why @staff canā€™t delete the posts rather than the whole blog? Then give the blog owner some warning when posts are deleted so they can do something and/or know that reblogs that used to be okay no longer are? Weā€™re losing potentially valuable content to our community here. This is throwing the baby out with the bathwater big time and itā€™s sad. #sims #what is going on #why
Tumblrā€™s claimed to be making the site better and more positive and other BULLSHITE before, but ever since the Dec17 Tumblrpocalypse things have just gone from bad to worse. If Tumblrā€™s blatant handwaving of the Post+ backlash is anything to go by, @staffĀ  just said EFF ALL Yā€™ALL, and DOUBLED DOWN on their nonsense, regardless of the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS who spoke out against them going forward with paid subscriptions and filled out the survey Tumblr clearly IGNORED.
Tumblr media
https://techcrunch.com/2021/07/22/tumblr-community-lash-out-post-plus-subscription/
Itā€™s been 3 years since we faced this kind of continued barrage from @staff, and one paying to the signs seriously has to wonder if Ragnarok is finally upon us, after 3 years of Fimbulwinter.
Is the Simblrpocalypse inevitable? What can we do to protect/backup or content?
Last week I opened my own Wix account. However, Iā€™ve always had trouble with Wix--itā€™s so HEAVY and SLOW, and bogs down my PC evey time I use it--let alone try to build my own. So itā€™s been VERY slow going for me to get my Wix page in a state where I can publish it, but I AM working on one, so I can at least have a place other than Tumblr to post my CC releases.Ā 
Tumblr media
And as for Wordpress backups, the last time I imported my Tumblr blog it glitched and made duplicates of every post, thus going over my storage space so that Wordpress wonā€™t let me make new poists on that account. I made another Wordpress account, but AFAIK thereā€™s no function on Wordpressā€™ Tumblr Import feature to pick and choose which posts we want to import -- it just imports the whole blog, which is unnecessary in my case, since I already have another Wordpress import for 2013-2018 -- I just want everything from 2019-2021 Imported. (And if I don't get my account back I canā€™t Import it anyway, which makes Wordpress moot).
So, other than Wix and/or Wordpress, what else is out there for us?
Wix might be our best bet for cataloguing CC, for those of us who make it. But what about community engagement? Places like Sims 3 Updates and My Sims 3 Blog migrated to TS4-only years ago, so Tumblr became the main hub for promoting new releases through reblogs. This was particularly effective after the rise of CC Finds Blogs like the late great Lana--another blog that got banned during the Dec17 Tumblrpocalypse, and never recovered. And several major CC Finds Blogs have been hit at least once by Tumblrā€™s ban since then, too.
A few weeks.months ago, when @mspoodle1ā€‹, @darkccfindsā€‹, and @katsujiiccfindsā€‹ got banned, I started considering backing up my stuff, but it was only once @desiree-ukā€‹ā€‹Ā  confirmed last week that it was still happening that I knew I needed to do something, and made my Wix account. As a fellow CC finds reblogger with 5 sideblogs dedicated to reblogging Sims content (including fancifults3cc.tumblr.com, scifits3ccblog.tumblr.com and ninthcirclets3cc.tumblr.com), I naturally expected to get hit next, and I was right. But if weā€™re all too scared to reblog content anymore, the Simblr community dies, as itā€™s through reblogs and tags/mentions that we let our followers know about the CC being made, and support simmers in the community.Ā 
There seems to be no simple solution. Yes, we all want our blogs back, and we want this whole reblog/link issue to be fixed, with Tumblrā€™s @staffā€‹ā€‹ finally providing a reasonable way to get rid of the bad links/posts themselves, NOT our whole account. Kicking people off the platform will only lead its users to continue losing faith in Tumblrā€™s longterm ability to maintain this website--let alone its ability to show any sign of care or consideration for the accounts investing so much time and energy into keeping the platform relevant.
@doka-chanā€‹ said it best: #We love Tumblr #Don't give us excuses to hate it.

Murfeelee here--I just got my accounts deleted today for the same reason, so hopefully Iā€™ll be back up and running, too. Who knows. U_U
My account has been restored!šŸ„³
Yes, everyone! I have my account back! ā€™desiree-ukā€™ has been restored It has been the longest 4 days EVER!Ā  So after multiple emails sent by me and only one automated reply from Tumblr staff, I was starting to lose hope, but thanks to a lot of supportive messages I didnā€™t want to give up, I really wanted my account back. I got a message from @treason-and-plotā€‹ suggesting I go on Twitter and post on the Tumblr Support page. I didnā€™t have an account but I thought it couldnā€™t hurt to open a temporary one. I didnā€™t get a response but someone read my post and DMā€™d me suggesting I email them (Tumblr staff) again and follow this page, throwing in as much legal jargon in the email as possible and wait and see what happens. Within an hour I got an email saying my account has been restored!Ā  The reason they gave for terminating my account was pretty much the same as why @katsujiiccfindsā€‹ account was terminated too:
Tumblr media
I couldnā€™t believe it! I made a post referring to some curtains on that site with a link 2 YEARS AGO! Yet nothing happened all that time until someone clicked on the link on Saturday and thatā€™s what got my account terminated! So apparently your blog can be terminated if someone clicks on a triggering link after 2 years of making the post?? Okay then.šŸ¤Ø
I find this all a bit whimsical to be honest. It doesnā€™t make sense why that site is so triggering to them. But to cut off peopleā€™s account without any warning because of it, is a blatant disregard to the people who use their platform. The lack of communication pissed me off most of all. To have to quote their own Community Guidelines back to them to get a response is a massive fail on their part. I could go on but you all know how Tumblr is. It was actually cathartic to put it all in an email so they could see themselves as we see them. šŸ˜‚
Anyway, the offending post has been deleted, Iā€™ve added the name of the site in my filters, I wonā€™t refer to it or link it again! Iā€™ve been told.šŸ™„
Please everyone, check your posts and add a filter to that site so this wonā€™t happen to you. If It has happened, keep on at them. They seem to rely on people not bothering to question them. If your account isnā€™t important enough to you to get it back, why would it be important to them?
Now Iā€™m gonna clean up my tags and make a full offline backup of my posts - just in case! šŸ˜›
Thank you for all your lovely messages and encouraging me to not give up. šŸ’œšŸ¤—

Murfeelee Account Deletion
ACK! I got hit!
Hi, Simblr community. Murf here, from murfeelee.tumblr,com
As I effing expected, Tumblr terminated my account today too, over the exact same nonsense that recently hit @katsujiiccfinds here and @desiree-uk here.
I contacted @staff at Tumblr Support about it today, and even tried to make a backup account to tell yā€™all about it earlier today, but Tumblr banned that account too, so now Iā€™m trying to get BOTH accounts back, FML.
This frikkin SUCKS, Tumblr--WHY are yā€™all making it so dang hard to make people want to even BOTHER with this site anymore? PLEASE do something about these nasty instant-terminations--at least the Flagging system warns us in advance, and just hides posts that arenā€™t allowed anymore, so do the same thing for posts with hyperlinks to outside websites you donā€™t want us linking to and clicking!!!Ā 
How is it acceptable that are you are insta-banning simmers for reblogging content yā€™all LET US reblog in the first place? Itā€™s THE SIMS, Tumblr--weā€™re not reblogging anything graphic or hateful or anything; weā€™re just trying to play with virtual Barbie dolls. (What on earth did that site (starting with a D) which shall not be named even do? O_O It was YEARS OLD reblogs of LACE DOILIES, DECORATIVE AIR CONDITIONERS, and GLASS FURNITURE, for crissakes! HIDE THE CHILDREN!)
I actually tried to delete the compromised posts on my CC Finds sideblogs, but lo and behold, the stupid posts wouldnā€™t even delete, and kept popping back up!
(Fun fact: I couldnā€™t even get my account termination letters at the Contact Support page to go through -- I had to keep resubmitting them before the buttons would stop getting stuck in an endless loop--like REALLY? I canā€™t even do what you all tell us to do @staff. Itā€™s not even watching what we reblog (the whole frikkin point of Tumblr, jfc) -- it's watching what weā€™ve ALREADY reblogged and are trying to get rid of, that can set Tumblrā€™s trigger-happy algorithm off.
So yeah, thatā€™s my frikkin life right now, yā€™all. (ļ¼ā€øįƒš)
Just in case they ban this account too, y'all can still see my archived CC posts at the Wayback Machine: (it might load super slow at first, at least for me it did?) Build/Buy Page: https://web.archive.org/web/20210125145904/https://murfeelee.tumblr.com/sims3cascc CAS CC Page: https://web.archive.org/web/20210125145904/https://murfeelee.tumblr.com/sims3cascc
And my SFS backups are all here & here.
Thank you to everyone whoā€™s reaching out and letting people know, both here at Tumblr and at Mod The Sims!
