Abuse
In addition to spam and copyright issues, we will suspend blogs or blog posts for the following types of abuse:
- Personal threats and revealing of personal information
- Calls to violence
- Impersonation of a private person
- Accusations that can be proven wrong (for example wrongfully calling someone a convicted felon)
If you find such content on WordPress.com please report it to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Please provide specific links and/or quotations of the offending material or your complaint will be ignored. If the blog is written in a language other than English, make sure you provide a translation.
We will not suspend blogs for other reasons you might find objectionable. For example, we don’t suspend blogs for expressing negative personal opinions such as calling someone an idiot or crackpot (because those are opinions that can’t be proven right or wrong), for describing a negative experience they have had with a business, or for being offensive (see this section on freedom of speech for more information). Instead of asking us to suspend such a blog, please consider either responding in the blog’s comments or on your own blog/site to set the record straight, or simply ignoring the issue (blogs that use insults and bad language tend to have low credibility and low traffic in the first place).
What else can you do?
The other ways to tackle a blog is to sign up to the same blogging provider and produce a much better, content rich and informative version, this is more likely to outrank the negative one in the search engine results page (SERPs).
Also your should look to bury the blog much further down the SERPs, we can help do this and protect your reputation from it happening again.
