    The owner of the Account of https://eineschule.wordpress.com/ misapplys the comment function to defame me as an racist. Please see the comments. The owner asserts I have used the “N-word” in my comment. The owner uses this as a reason to not publish my comment and then he/she lies about the content of my comment.

    Hi there. The owner of each blog has full say over whether or not they’ll allow someone else to comment on their blog and what they’ll allow others to say on their blog. They also have the right to edit other’s comments if they so choose. If this is a problem for you then don’t comment on their blogs, but this is not a support issue and no one in this forum can help you with that.

    If you believe this blogger has violated the WordPress.com Terms of Service and User Guidelines, then you can report them using the information here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/disputes/

    You misunderstood my problem. She/he is defaming me with no reason. In Germany this is called “Verleumndung” and its an offense. Is this in wordpress interest?

    Read the support docs I linked for you above.

    We strongly believe in freedom of speech. WordPress.com enables anyone to freely express their ideas and opinions, without censoring or endorsing them.

    We take our terms of service very seriously and will suspend any sites that are confirmed to be in violation. By the same token, we will not suspend blogs if they are not in violation of our terms or policies, even if they are offensive or objectionable.

    If it’s a legal matter:

    If we receive a complaint and are not in a position to make a determination (for example, whether something is defamatory or not), we defer to the judgment of a court. Please forward any legal process relating to a site hosted on WordPress.com to (email visible only to moderators and staff).
