Hey everyone! Finally, that day that I dreaded has arrived. I have a whacko who is not only writing cheap comments to some of my blogs but is also plagiarizing my writing.
Can anyone suggest a technology-duh person like me about what I can do? How do I ban him from coming to my site? And do you think that the best option would be to make my blogs private to prevent this?

Oh Dear! Those Wackos... if you find out please let me know as well... as I had someone doing the same... with an alias name krishna...
My solution came up ... was Ignore ! and it seems he did give up !
I can ignore the comments but not the plagiarism.
Oh yeah... Thats a serious matter indeed.
Let me ask around... and will get back to you !
the best way i think, is to send a nice note to the person and inducing some guilt factor. After that maybe you should post several comments on the copy-cat blog linking to the original posts. maybe ur readers can help with this.
You can always delete the comments. There is a built in mechanism for that. With regards to plagiarism, try to have your post copyrighted. Anyway, they say that imitation is the best form of flattery. What's happening to you is a sure sign of success. Rather than limit your accessibility to genuine blogger friends, why not just ignore him/her. Anyway, there is nothing new under the sun. One way or the other, there no such thing as an original work, as everything has already been tackled by countless others before. God bless you and your loved ones always.
I think you should definitely make your blog private. You know the names (or Ids) of the people you want to allow visiting your blogs. Everyone will just have to send you an email to get your permission to read your blogs. Unfortunately, because this was a public blog to begin with, and I presume you do not have a copyright on your blogs, you will not be able to do much about this issue. Of course you can try writing to that person, by I don't believe that they will refrain from plagiarizing in the future.
If you're making your private,then,mera id hai rebel.deya@gmail.com
Making your blog private kill any new readers you might have got, except from word of mouth I guess. So you got to decide which is more important. I don't think there are tools that can stop it. There might be a forum or something for this though. Never have had the need so haven't looked.
but i didn't do any plagiarism :(
Whatta creep! Write to Blogger Help. They will suggest you best way out.
I agree with Deepali.
However, it would also ensure peace of mind, for you.
That way, that unknown stalker (read ass****) won't be able to open and copy your content anymore.
Take care!
And....I just noticed that mam has removed my blog from her esteemed blog roll :(awwwwwwww
Anyways....it was nice knowing you, mam..
Take care n have a good life!
omg.. is it me.. are u talking bout me!! :P

arrey....yeh kya hua! access by invite kar de...
blogger doesnt help. install web counters on ur blogs. sitemeter is best one. it wud list the ip address and location of every visitor.....
i have dealt with this most of the times.....
go to blogger help or groups. write ur problem, they wud get back to u, but that doesnt help more...
once u have ip address, then u can go to cyber cell of us police dept and complain. they d be gone.....the anonymous commenters wd most prolly be the 2 offenders who troubled me too.....
install copyscape on ur site, it tracks the plaigaarists....if u go for paid versions, it wud list u all offenders......
any help drop me a mail, i wud gladly help u out, me the most experineced in this kinda stufff!!!!
damn them........
whats the natur of th comments ? delete ur snaps from the blog. write a nasty reply to the offenders. take the matter to everybody u can....law, police everything, i m sure in US its very easy to crack down!!!!!!!
Girl...I agree with Mel here.
You can get your posts copyrighted, and moreover, like he said, you being plagiarised means you're getting famous, you're successful.
Dont worry. creeps will never stop being creeps. Things will shape up. And rejects his/her comments.
Abhishek dedication for u. come n chk.
hmm...install sitemeter to get the ip...n do like ashu does...dhajiyan uda do uski :D
Comments do ignore.Post that plagiarist's link here and we all can whack them! ;)
well..thats really very sad when some people try to steal the stuff you have written. But then i am afraid there is not much to do about it. Here are some tips http://tips-for-new-bloggers.blogspot.com/search/label/Copyright%20Infringement
Not sure though if it will help.
Anyways all the best in dealing with this kind of stuff. Hope it will end soon.
No wez...don make ur blog private..may new readers won't get the chnace to read ur blog!
hmm as for this character..jus ignore him and don publish/accept any of his comments. Blv me he ll try to bug u for a few weeks, coz there is no response from u get bored n leave!
beware of fake muhhaz and kisses coming from some quarters. they are sick too,
i'll ask sam n gt bk 2 u... n iif ur mking ur blog private then sonu.deo@gmail.com is d id...
Rohitz dedication for u. come n see.
Therez an anony dedication too for u.
Hmmm...maybe we can all go to that guy's site and leave comments saying i think this is copied from solitaire! unless of course he moderates our comments and never publishes them.
I guess u should ignore it. He is doing it for significance and you are giving it. You can surely create some kind of copyright.
Hmmm a serious matter!
by the way nice blog!

and if ure makin ur blog private ... my id is vanditanaroola@gmail.com
A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO RESPONDED.

THE NEXT TIME HE DOES SOMETHING LIKE THAT, I KNOW WHO TO GO TO..
YOU GUYS! SO THAT YOU CAN BASH HIM UP!
"that day I dreaded has arrived"
How come you were expecting this some day?
Always heard a lot of horror stories from others.
Accounts hacked, internet stalking, plagiarism, identity theft, abuse on the internet...we should always expect the worse but hope for the best! :)
well...only solution...make it private! not much u could do...:)
plagiarizing!? that's so cheap!!!
don't make it private... there's a lot that 'normal' bloggers would like to read here... and would help them...
PUBLICIZE@@!!!
Yes.. give the id out.. we know u write genuine.. lets go and spam their comment box!!!!!!!!!
NO I M SERIOUS...

I m sorry!
nahi sneha di, someone told me...u can block his ip address from visiting ur page :)
can you post the link where he made is post? we can flame him.
give him a taste of his own medicine!
Copyscape and Sitemeters you already know about!!
Secondly, we can, I mean all of us can write actually highlight his plagiarism... its serioulsy can be done. I remember having done so for a fellow blogger named cuckoo... teh result was he apologised and removed all the contents from his blog.. except for his of course!! :)
