How are my reblogged posts being edited?
-
Thank you Raincoaster and Auxclass. I have no idea if it’s purely a coincidence, but I used the ‘report as spam’ option last night and since then the blogger in question hasn’t reblogged any of my posts (four), having reblogged them all recently.
I might be speaking far too soon – I probably am – but I’d love to think WordPress told him/her to stop. I should add, s/he has copied two of my photos in to supposedly ‘original’ posts today, which I know I could challenge them on legally, but all I really want to is to not be reblogged by this person any more. Just seeing my blog’s name on their ‘reblog’ makes me feel ill.
As I said before, I know once you put photos on the internet they’re there to be taken, I accept that, I just don’t want to be reblogged because it makes it look like I actually approve of such theft.
Thank you again for all your advice and help, greatly appreciated.

I think that person has probably either seen this thread or got a little discussion from staff.
We have NEVER said “once you put photos on the internet they’re there to be taken” nor would we. We have said you can’t prevent theft, but we have also repeatedly said you do not have to tolerate it. I would report them again. And again. Every single time. And then I would blog about it and put the link to that post on Twitter, Facebook, and Google +.

Thanks Raincoaster. It looks like I spoke too soon after all – s/he’s reblogging me again, my last four posts.
I need to decide whether just to give up or fight back like you suggest, I’m not sure I could be bothered, it’s completely ruined my blogging experience. I simply cannot understand why WordPress won’t let people opt out of reblogging, it’s desperately unfair.
Many thanks again for all your advice.
