Does WordPress follow its own rules?
-
And one final question for now: If I do contact the police, and they ask WordPress to remove it, will that be the end of it? I want to know so I won’t be wasting my time when I ask for their assistance.
-
We volunteers are most certainly not in a position to speculate on what the police may or may not do. Nor are we in a position to speculate on what legal advice you may or may not receive. Please take care of your own business in a business like manner. Please stop trying to drag us volunteers into a situation that we have no role to play in.

Then WordPress shouldn’t have dragged me into this situation in the first place by allowing a stalker to post personal and defamatory information about me.
-
May I suggest that you will never successfully resolve this situation until you desist in actions which do not move you closer to a solution?
-
And I wasn’t asking you to begin with. Considering Mark posted here, I was expecting a response from him or someone similar.

As you’ve been informed repeatedly, staff do not normally discuss these issues in the forum. As you’ve seen repeatedly, posting in the forum does not bring you closer to a solution. You are certainly free to continue to post in the forum, as long as you realize that posting in the forum has proven not to result in solution. Continued posting in the forum will likely continue not to result in a solution.
If your priority is to obtain a solution, obviously posting in the forum is not going to help.

sandor00:
You put a piece of information on the internet.
Someone found that information and they choose to keep it in the same place they found it (that’s the internet)
They did not take the info, you gave it away.
The internet does not give things back.I very much doubt any court in the USA would or even could do anything.
My advice:
Learn from this and move on. Why? Because one day one of the people running that blog here may get so annoyed they’ll post the information at blogger, bebo, LJ, xanga, posterous and every other possible blogging place. Drop the subject and learn the lesson.We will not be asking the blog owners to change anything and lots of emails to us, lots of demanding in irc and lots of posts here will not change that.

Can you please explain why wordpress deleted the same exact thing twice? What made it not okay then?

I hate to intrude like this, but I have to admit that if it is true that the exact same info about her has been deleted twice in the past because deemed in breech of the TOS, sandor00 needs to be demonstrated clearly why this new case is different, doesn’t she? (I just suppose it IS different, but she cannot see that yet perhaps). My guess is : maybe at the time WordPress staff deleted the info it was the only place on the Internet where it could be found. Now if in the meantime sandor00 volunteered that same info somewhere else on the internet, WordPress staff now feels there’s no need to have it removed. My two cents. Sorry.

This is to anyone:
Nothing is going to be removed.
There is no case for removal. A rule either applies or it does not and I am sure that everyone who has a blog here wants to be confident that unless the law is involved or our Terms of Service is broken then whatever is written stays. Your blog. Your words.
If something is uncomfortable for someone AND we agree then we might request – but not compel – the blog owner to change a detail. But we make it clear that we are not demanding it happen, just passing on a request.
In this case the situation started on another website and this sandor00 was accused of acting badly toward the person now blogging here. The blogger found the information which was already on the net and published it on their blog. I did ask the blog owner to remove the date of birth and they kindly agreed to. There is no way I could support asking them to remove the name / state and as I said previously you cannot remove what the internet has grabbed already.
You should also be aware that there is an imbalance here because of the nature of the originating site where sandor00 has more power.We take privacy issues seriously but just because someone starts a whole lot of noise does not mean there is actually a case of privacy being breached. There isn’t.
And please don’t lose sight of the fact that the person who put this information on the internet is now complaining that the information is on the internet.
