Because I’m a nerd who reads the details of everything I sign, here’s a few pointers about the new tumblr guidelines:
Traditional art and writing is still allowed via the new guidelines, just not photos and videos of real folk being “inappropriate”. So if your nsfw drawings or fic get flagged, just appeal and you should be fine.
And anything that gets flagged will not be deleted, they will just automatically become “private” so only you can see them.
And they are not deleting anyone’s blogs. If you have a nsfw blog that is labeled as such in your settings, all they will do is make all your content private and unsearchable, and hide your avatar and possibly your username if those are considered inappropriate as well. They don’t want to lose their user base so, rather than delete you, they want to give you a chance to turn your blog around and start posting safe content.
Don’t panic. Don’t delete anything. Just breathe and take this a day at a time.
Also please keep in mind the algorithm that flags inappropriate content still has bugs to work out, it still has to learn what actually is and isn’t appropriate. Please don’t panic about random post getting flagged.
