I’m not all that fussed Sheryl, especially as it was Mitch’s name who was hijacked.

Still, at least I now know where to look should I want to keep track of who’s abusing my name.

The only thing is the Comment would have to get Indexed for Google to find it & alert you. Also if you have a common name then you may find tons of alerts that have nothing to do with you. You may also try blacklisting their URL in your spam catcher. That way they at least can't do that crap on your site again. If these bumms took the time to just follow the rules thing of how far they would be. They are wasting time placing comments that are deleted & also bringing some really bad ju-ju to themselves. .-= Sheryl Loch´s last blog ..<a href="http://sherylloch.com/index.php/marketinghelp/how-to-set-up-bing-webmaster-tools">How To Set Up BING Webmaster Tools</a> =-.

I usually always install the install.php file, something I learned from my forums, but after reading this I thought I would check. I was shocked to find I forgot this particular one, and your comment allowed me to rectify the problem.

I haven't really thought of this kind of stolen identity. In this type of scenario, i would contact the guy who left the foul comment via his blog to find out if he or she really wrote the comment in question. Here's a quick tip. After installing wordpress, make sure to delete wp-admin/install.php. It so happens that whenever connection to your database cannot be made, wordpress sometimes assumes that you haven't completed the setup process so it loads install.php and asks you to fill in your details. Anybody you stumbles upon this glitch, can take over your blog so beware.

My bad! Backtype has the record of all the comments you made on net identified by the.. 'website URL'! I mistakenly thought it was identified by email add instead. Sorry.. =P only works for those pretending to be someone with exact same identity. Guess we still need a better solution. @Sire,Oh! My bad!
