IRRESPONSABILITY
Sat Nov 15 02:05:32 2008 od Mariliamarilia miller
I want know if the rating that was made as fraud and phishing gone to BLOGSPOT or to mariliamiller like domain; because this blog is administered by me, and I am not HACKER! I am licensed teacher, member of the WOT, Mozilla Community, and Social Movements and Counselor member of Salvador.
I would ask those responsible to provide more attention: do not play the scoring with a reputation of others! Knowing my Blog classified as fraud is an affront and I want to ask the Board of kindness from WOT to undo the classifications of those people.
We all know that the Internet is not safe, that malicious people lose valuable time to harm others that have a lot to do, recently had problems with attacks on my pages, actions that the administration was part of the Blog, MySpace, Yahoo and Google. To say that my page is fraud is at least injurious!
I need not tell from my profound boredom with such irresponsibility and within my rights I request that this error repaired.
Grotesque errors like this may compromise the credibility of WOT.Is need to pay attention about.
thanks
You don't understand the WOT system
Sat Nov 15 05:25:15 2008 od wehaveitallYour blog is not rated because of users thinking it is unsafe.
Your blog is a subdomain of blogspot, meaning it is something.blogspot.com there is a word and then . a different website meaning that it's a subdomain. Because there's so many blogs in blogspot, some of which are safe, and some unsafe, by default, any subdomain or any new blog is rated as yellow or possibly red because many of the blogs on blogspot ARE unsafe, even if yours is not.
You can however increase your rating. I'd suggest leaving a link to it here. If enough users rate your specific subdomain AKA your specific blog a green rating, it will no longer result in yellow.
WOT has no control over tampering with ratings, and with the click of a button cannot completely change wot's rating for twenty sites and get rid of all other users opinions. It is a meritocracy. The more websites you rate that others agree with, the higher your activity score goes up, and the more your personal rating will impact the overall rating in the future. However, even WOT cannot completely reverse a rating with enough people who have a high activity score saying the opposite rating.
Leaving a link however, will allow people to rate your site safe, and with enough people's input, your website's rating will go up.
I am sorry to hear about this error, but similar errors have happened in the past and been resolved, so this shouldn't be any harder to fix. Hope all goes well!
Note: I am not a WOT staff member, rather a user, however, having used WOT for so long, I have come to learn things such as these. Commenting is not the best way to contact WOT. To contact WOT directly, click about us at the bottom of this web page, and under contact us to the side, select the link that best fits your form of contact.
Another way to contact WOT is to post in the forum, however, there too, you will get both staff replies and user replies.
If you're wondering who is staff, they are:
Sami
Deborah S
Timo
Esa S
Any of these people responding do indeed work at WOT
I hope this resolves any issues you have had
WOT ROCKS!
