→Comments: added another note on "don;t tag your hate" with a footnote
Since tumblr is built around reblogging, it is natural that complex and sometimes contradictory forms of reblogging etiquette have developed.

Conflict sometimes arises when one user reblogs a post with commentary that the [[Original Poster|OP]] doesn't like. For instance, someone may post a [[shipping|shippy]] picspam, and the person who reblogs the image may complain about the problematic representation of that ship in the [[canon]]. Other times, someone may post about the reasons why they hate a specific show, [[pairing]] or character, and then tag their post so that it appears on the tracked tags page for that topic; this practice has led to the admonishment "Don't tag your hate". In fact, the motto even has its own "tag" on Tumblr.<ref> See {{source| url = https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/don%27t-tag-your-hate | title = don't tag your hate on Tumblr | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20180415032201/https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/don't-tag-your-hate | archivedate = 2018-04-15 }} </ref>For one example see the [[Kurtofsky_Wanks#Tumblr_Tag_Controversy|Kurtofsky Wanks]] in Glee fandom.

While the concept may sound simple, in practice it can be confusing and hard to apply with Tumblr users being given complicated instructions on when and how to tag and in what order to place their tags.<ref>{{source| url = http://cosmoglaut.tumblr.com/post/95192465033 | title = Cosmoglaut • Questions about "don't tag your hate" | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20180415032641/http://cosmoglaut.tumblr.com/post/95192465033 | archivedate = 2018-04-15 }}</ref>
Tumblr users also have developed a preference for where the comments are paced in a reblog. Over time, many users feel that added commentary should happen in the tags instead of the main body. As one user remembers:
