Request to remove Libel

  • Unknown's avatar

    A week or so ago I had reported a domain hosted by WordPress.com whose author purposefully slandered me. He used my full name, adequate physical description, and connected me with a hate group. He also insulted me, but I am much less worried about that. Being connected to a hate group that I had no part in is troublesome if an employer ever searched hard enough. Additionally, this man has been involved in harassing me in the past. I did not take action at the time (almost a year ago) for reasons I will not mention here. He lives in another country, so I cannot exactly call local authorities to deal with him. And I cannot afford an attourney.

    My question is: Will WordPress deal with this by AT LEAST having him delete any mention of me. I am not asking for his blog to be deleted, though I would take pleasure in it. Keep in mind that I have taken the time to both email this man, and using the report form here at WordPress.com. I just want this to go as smoothlessly as possible.

    Thank you.
