Here, we would take in reports of cases where reposts, plagarised, or any occurrence that’s somehow linked to posting what’s not yours originally, and we would report them to the tumblr staff.
We also take in accounts of ‘re-post’ blogs, but we would, of course, first try the harmless method of contacting them through an ask/fanmail. But if worse comes to worse, we would have to contact the tumblr staff again.
Also, we can give you ideas on how not to get your work stolen (e.g. making tutorials of adding watermarks/small brands of your urls in your work) and tips you can do when you see a repost on your dash.
Despite the name, we can help other ‘fandoms’ in case the same things happen, although this would most likely be a rare thing.
We can also give you some short ideas on keeping your work original by constantly adding a prompt for artworks and fics; and possibly requests for gifs/edits that could be sent anonymously(or not).
But any other way, this blog is top original; we’re not knocking off phanfic with the idea of prompts, because with their cause, it’s for authors who need to keep their mind in gear. But here, it’s for the obvious reasons of originality.
(Also I can see how slightly intimidating our name is, but nevertheless, we are just nerds who absolutely despise reposters.)

(ps this blog is still in progress of being edited so you may find wonky links and sample text posts everywhere)
this is great, phandomblacklist, and I was just wondering, seeing as I don’t actually make posts about anything I just repost whatever interests me, would I be included as one of those repost accounts? I never take any credit for the work, and leave the original caption by the creator up.
Hello!
By reposts and leaving the captions, have you possibly meant reblogging?
Reposting is when you save a content to your computer, then post it on your own without crediting the original author/artist/etc.
And reblogging is when you simply hit the reblog post and not claiming the work as your own.
If ever you did repost, you could kindly take down the post or at least add the creditable source.
Hope this cleared your confusion!
