There is a option in the settings:
Browse tag pages in Safe Mode
Hide content from NSFW blogs.
It works exactly like it says on the tin.
- morley 13y agoThe article makes it seem like they removed the content from search unilaterally. If they merely hid it under a setting, I don't see what the problem is. It's their playground, they can set whatever rules they like.
- samman 13y agoAs I've just learned, the way tumblr categorizes content, there's a difference between 'NSFW' and 'Adult'. 'NSFW' (occasional adult content) still gets indexed and is searchable (provided the profile is opted in), but 'Adult' (substantial adult content) is never indexed and/or searchable, regardless of your profile settings.

- mkr-hn 13y agoI can confirm that turning safe mode off still produces decidedly uncensored tag search pages. It is now back on.
- freyr 13y agoBut, but ... censorship! Seriously, I have to wonder who is actually enraged by this. If you want to browse for NSFW content, check the box and get on with it. If you want your NSFW posts to be displayed to unsuspecting people... I guess you're out of luck.
- icebraining 13y agoWhat if I want to browse for Adult content?
- FireBeyond 13y agoThen find something else - I fail to see how you have a particular right in this case for Tumblr to provide your adult content to you.
- icebraining 13y agoOh, for sure, I'm not one of the "enraged" people; I just wanted to point out that it's not just a matter of changing a flag.
- freyr 13y agoYou're right. I wasn't really aware of the NSFW vs. adult distinction when I posted. So NSFW content is available, but only from blogs that feature it occasionally? Adult blogs are not searchable, and not indexed in Google? Only days after Karp appeared on TV and said Tumblr won't police adult content? Well, it's Yahoo/Tumblr's prerogative to handle NSFW content however they see fit. I'm not enraged, but... I don't get it, and it seems like a lame move.
- LoganCale 13y agoNSFW and Adult are separate categories and you cannot reenable Adult.
- aidenn0 13y agoExcept there are 3 categories of blogs: normal, NSFW and Adult. Even if you turn safe mode off, Adult blogs will no longer show up.
- voyou 13y agoAs the update to the article makes clear, that's wrong. Switching safe-mode off shows both NSFW and adult content.
- ajanuary 13y agohttp://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/nsfw http://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/nsfw says "Blog indexed by Tumblr search: No" for adult blogs, which implies even switching off safe mode won't show adult content.
- voyou 13y agoIt might imply that, but such an implication is clearly inaccurate. The Tumblr rep quoted in the linked article says "Adult and NSFW content will be visible to anyone who has opted-in via their Settings page."
- joekrill 13y agoI believe there are 2 different flags: 1) NSFW; 2) Adult. NSFW tags will show when safe mode is off. Adult will never show. That was my take from the article at least.
- mcrittenden 13y agoAs others have said, Adult and NSFW are treated as 2 different things here. See: http://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/nsfw http://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/nsfw
