  I am being stalked. I just finished taking down my Facebook and now they are here, have accessed my acct and written under my Gravatar. Not sure how to remove it. Changed FB passwords many times and bypassed all. Help!!

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

  Changing your Facebook passwords does nothing to your WordPress or Gravatar accounts, you know.

  Change your EMAIL password. Do that first, change it to something long that you’ve never used before.

  Then change your Gravatar and WordPress passwords, each of them to soemthing long and that you’ve never used before.

  Thank you so much! I’m quite illiterate where all of this is concerned.

  AH! It wasn’t a stalker at all. Look at this thread https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/insulting-email-yesterday-from-wordpresscom?replies=8 Particularly the last response, from staff.

  I have also flagged this for staff, so they understand what kind of impact that “joke” email may have had on users. Apparently they intended no harm.

  We don’t really need two threads tagged for Staff do we? I’m thinking that jenellej87 could post into the first one at https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/insulting-email-yesterday-from-wordpresscom?replies=8

  Hi @jenellej87,

  It looks like this is indeed the same issue mentioned here:

  https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/insulting-email-yesterday-from-wordpresscom?replies=8

  As Grace mentioned, this was meant as a joke playing off of the song ‘You’re so vain.” It’s a completely automated email that is sent whenever a WordPress.com user likes one of their own posts. I’m really sorry if this email was insulting or discouraging!

  We’re taking a look at removing this in the future.

  Yes, I think we needed staff to see this.

  @raincoaster
  jeremeylduvall already answered and I’m glad he’s taking this issue to the support team for review just like https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/insulting-email-yesterday-from-wordpresscom?replies=8#post-2231360 is doing.

  Yes, I know about that thread, thanks. I flagged THIS thread because it demonstrates the seriousness of the issue in a way that thread does not. This is not a technical problem.

  We’re definitely taking a look at removing this! I’ll keep this thread updated.
