    If I dare criticizing WP here on the forum, I am getting “closed topic”
    I would like to see other criticism aswell.
    Fact is that WP is very difficult to use. Both the Forum and the Blogging, and WP does not do much to improve things.
    WP cant accept criticism. Now I wonder how quickly this message will get the “closed topic” message

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    I find your persistent posting of complaints about WordPress.COM limitations, Volunteers answers, and Staff support are not rooted in making suggestions for viable improvements. You are free to do that by using the Staff contact link, rather than continually posting threads that contain no suggestions for workable solutions and feature only you petulant attention seeking behavior.

    I’m a mature woman who will soon become a senior citizen. IMO like is far too precious and too short to waste and blogging is an enjoyable pursuit for most.. I think your best interest will be better served by making another choice that will result in the control you crave.

    If you are unhappy with the limitations of being free hosted on this multiuser platform and wish to have complete control over your string of blogs you can simply hire a web host and move them all into WordPress.org installs. http://wordpress.org/

    Actually, your more recent forum posts were designated as spam by the automated system. That has been corrected, hence your ability to post now.

    I can’t say why you were designated as a spammer by the automated system, but please feel free to continue posting.

    Keep in mind that we do also juggle suggestions and feature requests from about 20 million other users, so we may not be able to act upon everything immediately.

    If you ever feel that you are being censored in the forums, you can always contact us via http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/ as timethief mentioned above.

    What are the criteria for a “spammer” on the Forum ?

    I could be mistaken, but I think these forums use Askimet to filter out spam messages automatically.

    Our blogs on wp.com use Askimet to filter out spam as well. Users of wp.ORG can get an Askimet plug-in for the same purpose.

    Here is a short article about how it works:

    There’s no set criteria. The forums use the same Akismet software that your comments use. Akismet is a learning engine based on current spam trends and user submissions (of false-positives and false-negatives). As such it has now been educated on the fact that you are not a spammer.

    @stenbocken,
    Please be polite and considerate of people who answer your questions. I’ll refer you to this:
    https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/wordpresscom-forums-code-of-conduct?replies=1

    Always be aware of your own tone and focus. We love positive and productive discussions, so please keep comments on the topics at hand and not on other members of the community.
    Always promote a kind and friendly atmosphere where all users feel welcome.

    Making negative personal comments is one way staff and moderators will mark you as a spammer.

    I’m sure you understand that everyone enjoys a peaceful forum where everyone stays “on topic” in order to be helpful.

    @stenbocken,

    To be very clear, I’m sure that you will apologise for your remark.
    And you are aware that any such future remarks will be spammed.
