  If the sites are hosted by WordPress.COM, see here for details as to what is prohibited, and how to report it:

  If the sites are merely using the WordPress.ORG platform, there is nothing you can do, except of course in specific cases such as copyright violations, personal threats, etc.

  @alpakkus – the site is a WordPress.ORG install and not hosted on WordPress.COM and thus not subject to the Terms of Service here.

  You be Welcome – .ORG installs look so much like .COM hosting that it is a bit confusing at times –
