You have a guy going by the handles of Klextin on your blog site and he has published slanderous posts about me. He is a known sociopath and was engaged to another blogger who goes by the handle Adalamar. Her real name is Ada Burch He has stalked her, her friends and me, She now has a no contact order by the courts. I would appreciate it if you removed these slanderous posts about me

Using our report tool is the fastest way to bring it to our attention.

It looks like your report was responded to on the same weekend day it was submitted.

The complaint is a defamation complaint and the blogger in question doesn't need to post that URL here at all. He has the relevant links that I posted above and he can make his decisions without Volunteer help.

I've reported blogs and seen them taken down within a minute some days. If you give us the link to the offending blog, and some idea what they're doing wrong, perhaps other people will report it as well, guaranteeing swift action.

@randomhelp1234

Is there a hotline or a way of reporting to get some fast action?

No there is no a hotline of any kind not a more speedy way of reporting blogs. Also note that we Volunteers don't need to know why you are reporting any blog and you ought to avoid posting any URLs in these public forum threads. Here are the relevant links for reporting blogs:

Explaining what you're trying to do would be a start.

Is there a hotline or a way of reporting to get some fast action? I can't say that the reporting through the internet is fast enough..

character assassination. i've recently found out that there has been a blog started with my full name in the Header, and it looks to be an ex-girlfriend who is labeling me as a Psychopath/Narcissist. I really do not know who it is for sure, but have some idea who it may be. is there any recourse? is it okay for someone to stay anonymous, as they reveal a full name to the public? Should I care? What does this say about the person writing the blog? Are they hurting, vindictive, angry, not accepting of their share of reason why the relationship ended?

Hello,

I just found a blog who's talking sh*t about me and some other girls. calling us sl*ts, and names like that. It's basically defamation.
anyway there's the link [Link redacted by -sl1k due to forum policy pertaining to links leading to nude pics] (it's in portuguese. you can use google translator if you don't understand).
but the problem is, that blog is ruining some of my friendships, and i'm sick of that.

I don't know what to do. Help me please.

Thanks

By posting it in the forum, you have ensured that thousands of people can read that blog now. I'm sure that was not your intention.

I have done that, they told me I had to get a court order.

Yes I do understand the cost involved as I'm a paralegal. The bottom line here is we Volunteers cannot help you and Staff have replied to you.

I have done that, they told me I had to get a court order. There doesn't seem to anyway to talk to a human about this kind of stalking. Do you understand the *COST* of filing a lawsuit? I am sure if a *human* looked at that blog they can see the severe intimation factor involved. How do I get someone at wordpress.com to actually *look* at that blog and *not* give me a canned response!

@jeanettevictoria
We are Volunteers who answer support questions. Scolding us is like scolding a bank teller rather than taking your issue up with the bank manager. If you have been defamed they take the legal action required and note this entry. Disputes: Defamation, Court Orders, Subpoenas, Privacy If you have feedback to proffer then make it to Staff please as this is not an issue that Volunteers can deal with.
Here’s the link http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/ After you use the searchbox, under the search results, at the bottom of the page there will be a section that says “Have you found the answer to your question?” You can choose either “Yes I found the answer to my question.” or “No I didn’t find the answer to my question and I would like to contact support for help.” The no option will reveal the contact form.

Unless you contact the staff using one of the methods I gave you nothing will happen.

Also posting links that can be clicked on give the offending blog more "Google Juice" since this forum is scanned constantly by search engines.

Most of the people that help in the Forum are your fellow bloggers - the Staff at the links I gave you are the only ones that can deal with content that is offensive. It does not take a court order to take down many types of blogs -

They *DON"T* help I have read them. There is no overt call to violence the retaliation aspect is suggested.

Why is a blog that trashes a person life with lies and leave them open to lose their job allowed?

This can't possibly be abut free speech becuase this blog stifles free speech People will be afraid to voice any opinion for fear of having their life trashed on this slaking blog.

Please wordpress.com do the responsible thing.

The only thing necessary for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing.

There is a stalking blog out there run by anonymous people who wish to stile free speech by posting the lies and half truth abut anyone you post in a public forum about their view on marriage.

I realize the standard repose is to get court order to take it do. Doses anyone realize how expensive that is and how difficult it i to do that when the person who write the blog is anonymous.

By allowing people to post the most vile of defamation under the guise of free speech actually stifles free speech. People are afraid of reprisal when the kind of pseudo information is post like this on an autonomous blog. Blogs like this result in harm to peoples business and people losing their jobs.

Please *read* the who blog. Much of the information is wrong and defamatory. The people who hey are accusing to be criminals in fact are not.

Is there a process to use to report a blog that contains defamation of character. Looked around the site and couldn't find any procedures for this.

**I have thought about deleting the original post and making a new post talking about the situation.**

Never delete anything! Unless you yourself decide to. But I always tell everyone to contact WordPress and tell them to delete it. They never do, as far as I know. But if you delete this, then everyone and their grandmother will start emailing you threatening you to delete a post or a comment. And you didn't even write it. Tell them to get a backbone!

I'm no lawyer, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night....

I have run into similar circumstances on my blog with my Blue Plate Special restaurant critiques. Some people do not like to hear honest opinions when it's not in their favor.

IMO, as long as you speak your opinion, not stating it as fact, I believe you are safe.
