HELP NEEDED, How can I report abusive content and privacy violations?
-
Dear all:
I found a blog hosted under the WordPress platform that has included very sensitive information from myself, such as my full legal name, personal image, passport number, financial and banking information, an image of my handwritten signature, my address, etc.
I have already reported the blog using the online form, but got no response.
Can anyone help me or do I have to get an attorney to handle this matter?
The blogs are:
http://casoitalcred.wordpress.com/2013/09/26/perfil-charles-edward-kinzer/
http://casoitalcred.wordpress.com/2013/09/26/credenciales/
and many more pages hosted under http://casoitalcred.wordpress.com
i would appreciate if anyone can help me.
Thanks a lot. -
Hi,
I tagged this for staff assistance so they can look into the matter further. Please be patient and they will get back to you.
Thanks!

sorry for the overkill below – try the “abuse” link
You can also visit a blog while you are logged in and mouse over the blog name on the left side of the top nav. bar and click on “Report content” – that is quick and easy way to get started –

@auxclass: Thank you very much! I have already tried the “abuse” link several days ago, but got no response at all. I didn’t have a wp account at that time, so today I signed up and tried it again (as well as the online form at http://en.wordpress.com/abuse/), but got no response so far.
I now I may seem anxious, but I don’t like that such sensitive information is seen by the whole world.
That’s why I was wondering if there is an email address at which I can report this situation in order to get staff help immediately, or at least in order to get that a WordPress representative take care of this matter.
I have already tried emailing to support@wordpress.com. No response so far.
Thank you very much anyway for taking the time to answer.

Just saying … criminal records are public knowledge. There is no privacy breach when posting any information that is gained from a criminal record check.
-
The email you used is a good address – this thread has also been flagged for staff attention – they work threads from oldest to newest in the forum – – sorry to say that sometimes it seems the TOS group is slow to look at things and sometimes the staff get backed up

These matters are not discussed on these public support forums that are available to all with internet access.
You need to file a compliant and submit it to terms of Service Staff, know they have a backlog and wait patiently for a response. WordPress.COM please read these so you know how to proceed:
http://en.wordpress.com/complaints/Posting here will not get Terms of Service Staff attention to your issue any more quickly that waiting patiently will, because this thread is dated after the date on the form you submitted to Staff. Moreover, every time someone posts into this thread the date moves forward, and it takes longer to get Support Staff to post here simply to say what I just said.

@timethief: I am aware of that, thank you. Unfortunatelly, there are no criminal records in this matter, at all.
Is just someone I do not know, who is carrying out a HUGE defamation campaign against me and some of my partners. WordPress is only one of many platforms in which my information was disclosed.
I even already got a preliminary injunction ordering Google and Yahoo! not to include this URLs in their search results. I sent all of this evidence to support@wordpress.com, as well as a copy of my passport.
Just for your knowledge, I have already brought up a criminal action in Argentina (where I live) in order to try to obtain information regarding the authorship of this harrassment campaign. No results so far.
Thanks anyway.

@timethief: so your suggestion is that I close this thread and simply wait for someone at wp to get attention to my matter?

It is not in your best interest to post to the support forums on such issues at all – ever. Is that clear to you or has the blah, blah, blah sidetracked you away from recognizing that reality?
Support Staff answer support forum threads and tickets. Terms of Service Staff deal with Terms of Service violation tickets and reports.
By posting here you made this whole thing public and you have now created a thread with datestamps that are newer then the datestamp on the form you correctly submitted to Terms of Service Staff.
Court orders: Cases of defamation and impersonation require a court order before we can take action. Official, signed court orders can be emailed to the email address found here http://en.wordpress.com/complaints/

You cannot close, edit or delete any thread here. We bloggers cannot do any of those, only Staff can and they only do that in one circumstance:
Always be aware that you are posting to a public forum, and that forum topics may only be deleted if they represent a valid security or personal safety concern. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/wordpresscom-forums-code-of-conduct?replies=1
