  I need to contact WordPress management, via both email and snail mail, over libelous comments on a WordPress-sponsored blog.

  How can I do that?

  Thanks,

  Hi there,

  Complaints like this one are not dealt with here on the public support forums. Only Terms of Service Staff have authority in such cases and their authority applies to blogs hosted by WordPress.COM, not to any others.

  Provided the blog in question is actually hosted by WordPress.COM and is not a wordpress.ORG install on paid hosting, see here please:

  Court orders: Cases of defamation and impersonation require a court order before we can take action. Official, signed court orders can be emailed to

  Our role as Volunteers is to direct those who post to the relevant support docs like http://en.wordpress.com/abuse/ and request that Support Staff close the thread, as only Terms of Service Staff have authority in these cases.

  This thread is tagged for closure as you will be dealing directly with Terms of Service Staff. Please do not continue to post here or to create additional threads on this matter.
