Remove comments in other blogs

    I have written multiple comments in other blogs featuring my full name and information, but I want them deleted and I don’t know what can I do in order to get them removed from that website and from search engines. Can you help me, please? Thank you in advance.

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

    That’s not possible without the full cooperation of the blog’s owner in question. Read Can I edit comments I left on someone else’s blog?

    Thank you for your answer.

    I don’t mind my comments to appear if it’s possible that they appear with my new nickname and a different link to my wordpress profile, is that possible, please?

    Thanks again.

  • timethief · Member · Aug 8, 2015 at 6:40 pm

    No that is not possible unless the recipient of the approved comments agrees to make the changes on your comments on their blog for you. Staff cannot do this so be clear about that.

    One last question: what about removing my WordPress site? Would that make the comments to dissapear, please?

    Thank you again.

    You cannot delete a blog that you did not register and Staff will not do that.

  • timethief · Member · Aug 8, 2015 at 6:47 pm
    • Copy link Copy link

    If and only if you registered the blog in question you can either make it private or delete it. To delete a WordPress.COM hosted blog you must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog to navigate to Dashboard > Tools > Delete Site. The guide is here http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

    Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

    Alternatively, to change blog visibility to Private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3. See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings

    Thank you very much.

    So, can I delete my WordPress account, please? What about this forum? Or they will simply stay forever online even if I die?

    Thanks.

    What you say online lives forever (waybackmachine) and that’s why it makes sense to be sensible. Claims of sensitivity after the fact fall on deaf ears.

    Think before you post – this is a public forum. Forum topics will only be deleted at the discretion of Staff if they represent a valid security or personal safety concern. From the sticky post at the top of these forums https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/wordpresscom-forums-community-standards?replies=1

    Registering an account here required
    (1) your consent to the Terms of Service http://wordpress.com/tos/ and all policies made under it found in the support docs like this one http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/,
    and
    (2) an email address.

    Any personal information you posted anywhere was posted voluntarily. Both the email address and personal information can be removed or replaced at any time.

    Here’s how to deactivate your account:
    Although username accounts are not deleted, so you cannot be impersonated and have your reputation affected by anyone registering the same username in the future, there are steps you can take that amount to removing all personal information and result in leaving only a throwaway email address behind. http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

    1. You can go to My Account->Edit Profile and remove all data except the account name and an email address. Create a throwaway email address and change the account email to that throwaway address. This only leaves the username behind.

    2. To unsubscribe from email sent to you from WordPress.com, go here and click on “Block all subscription emails from WordPress.com”:
    https://wordpress.com/settings/notifications/

    3. To ensure the account is locked up tightly, visit this site, generate a password of 15-20 characters, and change the account password to it:
    http://www.thebitmill.com/tools/password.html

    4. To hide your Gravatar profile, login and on the bottom right hand corner of your Gravatar profile page you will find a “hide” button visible only to you that you can click. http://en.gravatar.com/support/profile-privacy/

    Dear timethief,

    I understand this is a public forum. I would have prefered a private contact form, but WordPress doesn’t offer it or maybe I couldn’t find it. My mistake. ;)

    I would prefer this topic to be removed, since my doubts were already solved by you and I’m really thankful for that. If it’s not possible to remove it, can you at least remove the WordPress links I wrote down in my first post, please?

    Thank you very much for everything. You were very helpful.

    Best regards.

    If you want Staff to remove the links in the OP type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question Then please subscribe to this thread so you are notified when they respond. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it.

    Ok, so I’ll wait to see if the Moderator/Staff can remove this topic or, at least, the links I wrote down in my first question. I think #modlook tag is already added to this topic, so I’ll just have to wait.

    Thank you for the help.

    Thank you, rootjosh. I guess we can’t remove this conversation, nor the comments I posted in other blogs through my WordPress account, can we?

    Thank you.

    That is correct.
