  I submitted my blog to Paperblog (http://paperblog.com) a while ago, after seeing the Paperblog button on another blogger’s site.

  I am now regretting it, as Paperblog publishes blog posts in full on their site without linking back to my blog! I haven’t had a single referral from Paperblog to my site.

  I have contacted them three times: twice via their online form and once via an email address that I found. I also tweeted at them. But I have had zero response, my account is still active and my posts are still being duplicated on their site!

  Having Googled it, I saw that other bloggers have had the same problem and found it very difficult to terminate their Paperblog account.

  I presume Paperblog works via an RSS feed. If I stop my RSS feed, do you think that will prevent my posts from being duplicated on my site?

  Thanks in advance. I’m feeling frustrated by this and I wish I had researched Paperblog more before I signed up!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Also, I’m not even sure if it’s possible to disable an RSS feed for a wordpress.com site. Can that be done?

  Update: after using Google Translate to tweet to them in French (they are based in Paris), they have finally closed my account.
