I love Tumblr but I feel that this social media site lacks in privacy. I would love for Tumblr to change their privacy settings, not drastically. The main change I feel that we need is a better "block/ignore". Right now, if you block/ignore someone on Tumblr all it does is prevent you from receiving messages from that person and prevent them from showing up on your dash. But did you know that person can still go to your blog and re-blog anything you've posted? I want Tumblr to make a block/ignore system where if you block/ignore someone, they cannot go back to your blog to re-blog things you've posted and post hate on it.

 Tumblr, please! This is important! People who "troll" and cyber-bully are vicious. I know first hand. It would make it so much harder for these people to cyber-bully if we were able to completely block them from our blogs.

We want you to make it so
- when you block someone they cannot see your blog at all anymore
- when you block someone they cannot reblog anything you've posted.

Please help us take a stand against Cyber Bullies on Tumblr.
