I agree with Soup.

Regarding questions we’ve received about five accounts that were suspended yesterday:

These accounts were suspended by our moderators, reflecting internal discussions about our community guidelines.

I’m sorry for not clarifying these changes earlier.  But after serious consideration, we recently decided that accounts with the explicit purpose of reblogging content in a derogatory way are a detriment to our community.  Although these accounts were removed prematurely, we’re confident this was the right decision, and have updated our Content Policy accordingly:

Harassment. Accounts with the sole or primary purpose of repeatedly harassing or abusing specific members or groups within the Tumblr community will be suspended.

I’m really sorry for the confusion.  Your content and freedom of expression are the reasons we’re building Tumblr.

I’m really disappointed with tumblr regarding this decision.

Nobody should ever be threatened by another tumblr, nobody should make threatening statements to another tumblr. If someone does this, they should be banned.

These sites that were banned were not threatening, they simply were critical of other tumblrs, mine included. I’m a big boy, I can handle it. I don’t need tumblr to ban people who want to make fun of what I post. This isn’t kindergarden.

This is David’s community, it is his choice what can and cannot be posted on it. However I think this is a sad day for tumblr.
