Complaints

Posted by Manaswin on 14th February 2008

Please read the following carefully if you have a complaint about a blog hosted at KavitaSangrah.com. Some general points:

  • Before contacting us, please consider contacting the blogger directly if you take issue with their blog. This will often work to resolve an issue immediately without involving us (or worse, lawyers). Some blogs list their contact info, or you can always just leave a comment on any blog post and it will get sent to the blog owner.
  • We take complaints seriously, but please be aware that unless a blog clearly violates our Terms of Service we won’t disable it.
  • Below are the official ways to contact us for various issues. Emails, voice mails, etc that are sent elsewhere will not get the desired response.

Copyright violations

If one of our blogs features content that is owned by you (and you did not authorize your content to be published by the blog in question), please send us an email at copyrightissues@kavitakosh.com.

Defamation, abuse, threats

If you find defamatory, abusive or threatening content on a blog, you can report it to support@kavitasangrah.com. Note that negative personal opinions are not considered defamation. In other words, someone calling you names or insulting you on their blog is not grounds for shutting them down. Instead of asking us to suspend such a blog, please consider either responding in the blog’s comments or on your own blog/site to set the record straight, or simply ignoring the issue (blogs who use insults and bad language tend to have low credibility and low traffic in the first place). When reporting defamatory or abusive blogs, please provide specific links and/or quotations of the offending material. If the blog is written in a language other than English, make sure you provide a translation.

Spam blogs

Please use this form to report spam blogs. We will immediately suspend any spam blogs.

Mature blogs

Please use this form to report blogs with mature topics (erotica, porn, etc). Mature blogs are welcome on kavitasangrah.com, but we will mark them in our system so they don’t show up in public listings.

Types of Blogs

Posted by Manaswin on 14th February 2008

There are many different types of blogs on KavitaSangrah.com, and they span dozens of different languages. You can browse our tags to get a sense of the topics covered by KavitaSangrah.com bloggers.

Primarily we have started this portal to publish poems of - any language - in any form. In hindi urdu they could be Kavita, Geet, Ghazal, Nazm, Sher of any genre. So we would appreciate if you start blogs related with poems only. But we don’t want to create any boundry on your imaginations so take a look at these examples of other blog categories:

  • Personal: This is the broadest category and includes not just blogs about personal topics, but blogs written from the point of view of an individual. Popular topics include politics, music, family, parenting, travel, health, holidays, religion, books, photography, you name it!
  • Business: Professionals ranging from realtors to lawyers and stock brokers are using KavitaSangrah.com blogs to share their expertise. And companies are discovering the power of blogs to communicate with their customers via company news and announcements, product reviews, user stories, testimonials, etc.

And here are some examples of blogs that are banned from KavitaSangrah.com (all of these fall under the general heading of “spam blogs”, or splogs, and we will be deleted as soon as we find them or they get reported):

  • Scraper blogs: Blogs that take content from other blogs and re-publish it without permission (this is sometimes called scraping). If a blog contains all or mostly stolen and unoriginal content, it’s gone!
  • SEO blogs: Blogs that are written for search engines instead of humans. These blogs are dedicated to trying to fool Google and other search engines into ranking them highly. KavitaSangrah.com is not meant for this type of activity.
  • Affiliate marketing blogs: Blogs with the primary purpose of driving traffic to affiliate programs and get-rich-quick schemes (”Make six figures from home!!”, “20 easy steps to top profits!!”, etc). To be clear, examples like people writing original book or movie reviews and linking them to Amazon, or people linking to their own products on Etsy do NOT fall into this category.
  • Warez blogs: Blogs that promote pirated copies of ebooks, software packages, music, movies, games, etc.
