content warning on my dashboard
-
I noticed a content warning on my dashboard late this afternoon and responded as requested on the dashboard report form that I did not know what it was about. I went out and came home several hours later and still no change and no reponse from anyone. I responded again but still no indication anyone got my response. Nothing is new on my blog except for a particularly hostile commenter who was on my blog according to Stat Counter 18 times before the dashboard notice appeared. How long before I can post again or even find out what is going on?

(Hello from Norfolk!) The volunteers in the forums can’t help you. You’ve responded to the notice and unfortunately, all you can do is wait for staff to get back to you.

Well it took a very long time, not the 2 hours I saw on another forum at all, but two separate waits of many hours each, but WP support finally got my blog up to posting again. They had a complaint about something that is NOT in their Terms of Service and basically supported a troll commenter in harrassing me and keeping me in suspense and not able to post for a very long time. I am not happy that WP supports trolls over its own bloggers. I can see concerns about their own liability if an IP was one that identified someone or if a trolling commenter did not choose to leave their email address when not required to on my blog and that email address did not identify them, but in the circumstances, WP’s utter failure to notice that the person who complained had called me names for no reason 3 times this summer and used different emails to do so and acted as if it were a simple disagreement rather than a nasty personal attack from a stranger who complained that I should not talk about my kidney failure on my own blog along with calling me names I will not repeat, I am left with a bad taste in my mouth about WP that I never had before in my time blogging on WP. What is folks experience with other blog hosts?

If you didn’t give WordPress.com the links to those instances of trolling you describe, I’m afraid I don’t see how they could have noticed them. They don’t read the entire contents of a blog including comments before putting a warning up.
By default, everyone here has chosen WP.com as their host; if you want hosting recommendations about other sites, you’d probably be better off asking at WordPress.org, which is the support site for independently-hosted blogs.

@criticalacclaim – I have responded to your notice. Again – posting these kinds of issues in the forum will not expedite the process; volunteers cannot help in this matter.
