Reporting illegal firearms sales. The post and report in question were ~6mo old at the time of review and I believe had already been deleted by either the OP or a sub mod. I got a similar warning (but no ban) reporting similar sales on FB. They don’t care to fix it

Maybe I should stop reporting all those charity scams on Tumblr, before they think I'm being their spammer...
