Court cases, personal attacks and identity theft. Relevant to the username and a couple of other bits and pieces that all tie together. It’s a web of things that have been used to personally attack me overall, which I want rid of. I’m sorry but going into more detail publicly just isn’t possible, I find it a sensitive situation. I moderate numerous subreddits and communities myself, which is relevant. Amongst the hundreds of thousands of people in those communities there’s a few that want to harm you, few go as far as this one though.

This and 1 other place is all that stands between it finally going away, and that place is a co.uk so removal won’t be a complex issue once finally getting a response.

The policy itself makes it difficult. I don’t want to go into more detail publicly BECAUSE it’s an extreme situation. Hence attempting to contact you privately to discuss it. Do please respond to those emails, I will go into more detail in confidence, allowing you to make a better private decision amongst other moderators.

Surely you must understand that someone would not want to go into detail about an extreme situation publicly in a place where refusal to delete the content would mean it only becoming worse.

“In extreme circumstances, members of the moderation team might be persuaded to remove sensitive information that has been included in posts accidentally”

I would ask this. And that the team understands that it makes it very difficult for a user to do anything “persuasive” when they do not wish to add further information that would potentially not be deleted, with no means of contacting privately this is very difficult. I have however attempted to contact you via quirm and blackwidow Esmi to provide a persuasive argument.

I also emailed Matt regarding the matter.

I’m aware. I found this a little shocking to be honest.

Automattic/Matt/www.remarpro.com is clearly under the jurisdiction of Europe in some way or other, either through WordCamps or other means. I’d rather not bring up the fact that individuals or businesses operating under European law are legally required to provide a means for a user to delete their account, or at the request of that user.

I didn’t really want to go down this route, it automatically makes me look combative or otherwise arsey. I would however like to have my huge total of 9 posts deleted, though slightly higher because of these ones.

This isn’t an unreasonable request. It’s a human right granted by Europe and while I would MUCH rather settle this quickly, now, via a reasonable request, I will follow up. I’d rather not though, it’s a great non profit resource. My posts are of very little value and this disappears meaning you get to continue that policy rather than European Courts deciding for you that all European users must be provided with a means of account deletion or simply not be given service.

Denying a culturally defined right on the basis of wanting to keep search results is, in my opinion, not particularly ethical. Let’s just sort this here and now please. It’s much easier.

Wait a second, I think you may have found the problem for me. It appears I made an error, I had absolutely no htaccess file on the new domain.

Adding a htaccess appears to have fixed it all, here’s hoping it stays that way.

Marking as resolved, thanks for the help webjunk! You lovely helpful person you.

The current htaccess is:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

I’ll take a look, thanks for the response.

Not sure what I ought do other than bump to get response. Not bumping after the topic has fallen off the second page guarantees it’ll get no response.

EDIT: That’s not it, the site addresses are set to https://www.blog.reallifeattraction.com in general settings. I presume that must have been changed by the plugin I used.

Bump again. Still can’t find the problem.

Bump, still having trouble with this.

My apologies.

https://www.blog.reallifeattraction.com missed out the subdomain.

Nobody?
