Anyone been following Encyclopedia Dramatica? It seems they've changed formats. I'm kind of surprised to not see a thread about it here already, though it's certainly possible I just missed it. Or maybe this place is just kinda dead at the moment.

I asked Queen Sherrod to delete my bio on ED, after being informed by an ED insider that she was the final arbiter of all disputed content on ED. I was informed by this insider that the Queen got my email, didn't recognize my name, and then informed this insider that she (the Queen) had decided not to reply to me.
I lobbied further with the help of this insider to get my bio deleted. But this sympathetic insider felt that he/she did not have the power to do this unilaterally, even though he/she was an administrator on ED. When Sheneequa was doxed a few weeks later (thanks to efforts by my research partner who later started josephevers.blogspot.com), this ED insider (a different person from my research partner) suddenly obtained permission to delete my bio. But by then my thinking was that there are a lot of real-life names on ED, and to put it simply, the entire site did not deserve to exist. Anyone who asked for deletion of their name from ED was treated with the utmost contempt, conveniently disguised as "lulz." Already there are a lot of real-life names showing up on OhInternet.com. Queen Sherrod should be a lot more cautious about this; she needs to establish a policy. QUOTE To: Sherrod DeGrippo, Encyclopedia Dramatica sherrod@girlvinyl.com cc: [redacted] From: Daniel Brandt, Public Information Research Date: August 30, 2010 Dear Ms. DeGrippo: Do you have an email address for Long Dong Silver? Or if you prefer, can you forward this email to him? Earlier this month, he wrote this: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/cz9q...sop_ama/c0wfrm3 "As a note to any other people with a similar issue. When requesting a removal or edit to a page, a nicely worded email will often suffice. Cursing, ranting, and frivolous legal threats result in it being featured on the front page as the Article Of The Now." I wish to request the removal of the article about me on ED: http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Daniel_Brandt It shows up as number 1 in both Google and Yahoo in a search for "daniel brandt" without the quotation marks. Bing.com apparently has the good taste to not index this page at all. I am president of a tax-exempt public charity, and our board of directors feels that this article has a negative impact on our ability to obtain foundation funding to support our projects. They have asked me to request that it be deleted. Thank you, Daniel Brandt --------------------------------------------------------------------- Public Information Research, PO Box 680635, San Antonio TX 78268-0635 www.namebase.org [redacted]@sbcglobal.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- |

QUOTE Bing.com apparently has the good taste to not index this page at all. I've actually switched to using Bing as opposed to google in part for this reason. It's sort of like quitting smoking, you can't quite get away from it (esp. with gbooks) but it is sort of funny when the evil corporation Microsoft turns out to be actually less evil, at least along one dimension, than the corporation that is running around in the "I am not evil" t-shirt. The kids, so ironic these days. |

The kids, so ironic these days. The top search result for Daniel Brandt on Bing is www.danielbrandt.com. An out-of-date, barely maintained site about some (german I think) DJ or other... The top search result on google is www.wikipedia-watch.org. That site isn't even on the first page in Bing. Or the second. Though the 2nd page has two uncyclopedia entries for Daniel Brandt. Bing not being evil would be nice. If they only had a search algorithm that was even somewhat competent, it might even be useful. |
