    Hi – I’m not a public figure but a small business owner in San Francisco and a woman. I won a default judgment for $25,136 in San Francisco back in 2010 for a complete stranger’s blog slandering ad libeling me. Shortly after he took down the blog on Blogger.com by court order, he put up another one I’ve been contacted about by a customer about. This blog is ridiculously slandering me that was transferred over to WordPress. I would like to ask if it’s possible to request it be removed and I will forward the judgment document respectfully showing I won a defamation suit against this man.

    Please let me know if this is possible to remove an unlawful blog slandering me. Thank you.

    What do you mean “on WordPress”? ww.wp.xz.cn just distributes software, and its philosophy lets you use the software for anything.

    Thank you for responding however I’ve since discovered the owner of WordPress is Automatic that does have an email address for any court documents to be sent to it at [email protected]. I have since sent my court document papers.

    However WordPress clearly hosts the materials people post on its servers so it’s not just a distributor of software, that’s inaccurate. If it were just a distributor of software it wouldn’t host the blogs or websites.

    It looks like you’re talking about a site on WordPress.com and not a self hosted site.

    It can be very confusing, but generally we can’t help you with issues on WordPress.com because their system is more limited as to what you can and cannot edit.

    You should post this question on http://en.support.wordpress.com/If you’re curious about the differences between .com and .org, please read this: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    Hello,
    I had the same question as @interruptthisbroadcast, and now I understand better what it mean. And finally I will select the .com, it’s better for a business.
    Best regards,
