  Hi

  Does WordPress have a policy on inactive accounts? Do they release inactive accounts? The blog https://authornook.wordpress.com has not been used in the last 11 years – there is not a single post. The user just created the site and is squatting on it. Can it be released? It is important to me as “Authornook” is my registered business trademark. To that extent, can it not be treated as trademark infringement and released to me?

  Pls help

  God, this is so lame. Why don’t any of the #BigTech companies release inactive accounts??? The old lady who created this account will take this name with her to the grave. This is so so so annoying.
