A problem with reblogging
-
I have a post “Bern, Switzerland” (3/5/2014). It was a reblog from somebody named Owl McCloud and I entered several words before reblogging.
Yesterday I noticed that only my words are left.What happens if a blog from which you reblogged does not exists any more?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I found the post at http://closetoeighty.wordpress.com/2014/03/05/bern-switzerland/ and I’ll tag this thread for a Staff follow-up. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

You’re welcome.
P.S. I don’t know what happened to the reblog and Staff will assist you with that. What I find incredible is the fact 9 logged in WordPress.com/Gravatar account users actually clicked the like button and 1 even clicked the Twitter button to promote a reblogged post that does not exist there. Go figure where their heads were at.
-
I think users clicked the like button when the reblog existed.
Then (whatever the reason) the original blog disappeared.
My introductory words remain.As a former programmer analyst I think that when any WordPress blog
passes away there must be a checkup on possible reblogs and they should be automatically deleted. -
Oh! I see now. You think what happened is that Owl McCloud may have deleted the post you reblogged or the blog it was published in.

Hi there!
As a former programmer analyst I think that when any WordPress blog
passes away there must be a checkup on possible reblogs and they should be automatically deleted.This can be a little tricky given that reblogs are actually saved as posts on your own blog. We’d rather leave it up to the blog owners to delete their own reblogs than have us do it for you without your knowledge.
Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks!

I understand that it is tricky but how can a blog owner know that somebody deleted the post that was reblogged or the blog where this post was ?
I noticed the problem incidentally (with 570+ posts on my blog the probability to notice it was close to zero).PS. I am deleting my post “Bern, Switzerland” today because people try to access it almost daily and the original post does not exist anymore.

Hi again! I’m afraid that there is no current way for blog owners to know if and when a reblogged post is deleted. As I mentioned, we’d rather not delete posts without the users’ knowledge as this may cause more harm than good. Sorry for not providing better news!
