Uh, Yeah, Guys, I Like Tumblr The Way It Is Without You Pushing The Post Plus Nonsense Onto Your Servers.

Uh, yeah, guys, I like Tumblr the way it is without you pushing the Post Plus nonsense onto your servers. K, that's just... You can tell by everyone else's comments that the Answer's No, right? Thank you for the offer, but we must kindly decline the said offer for obvious reasons. Plz listen to our words, and kindly just throw the barbaric device out of the damn window, or better yet, have three of your staff go outside and smash the thing to bits like how those guys from Office Space did way back in ‘99. Nuff said, GOODBYE!

Tumblr,

Earlier today we announced to the press that we are running a beta test program for Post+, Tumblr’s newest add-on subscription tool. Post+ is a completely optional tool that will allow creators to make some of their posts exclusive to their paid subscribers. You can read more about it right over here on our @postplus Tumblr. This feature is being tested by a small group of incredible creators on Tumblr.

We want to hear about what you like, what you love, and what concerns you. Even if it’s not very nice. Tell us. We can take it. We WANT that feedback. It helps us make Tumblr better.

What we won’t ever accept is the targeted harassment and threats these creators have endured since this afternoon. These creators are some of the most talented people around, and all they’re doing is testing out a feature. These are the people who graciously agreed to pilot a program to help us discover bugs before we open it up to all creators. These are the humans who are testing a feature that we hope will soon help thousands of Tumblr creators feel empowered, get rewarded for their efforts, and find support within their community.

Our Community Guidelines are clear: Don't engage in targeted abuse, bullying, or harassment.

Anyone in violation of these guidelines will be dealt with swiftly and will be forced to contend with the appropriate consequences. It’s okay to tell us how you feel. It’s not okay to bully someone because you disagree with their choices.
