A lot of people on Tumblr who wrote personal posts but had unlocked blogs (because you couldn't lock them) would tag them "please don't reblog." Guess what, people reblogged them to add a sympathetic note anyway.

I already have a note about 'please don't repost huge chunks of my blog without asking' and don't really want to add another one about 'please don't link to a newsletter without asking' because then it seems next week I'm going to have to add 'please don't X without asking'....I know DW has privacy controls but it seems like some people are more used to the Tumblr binary on/off -- if it's public, it's REALLY public, so to speak.
