I am closing down one hubpage account and transferring some of those articles over to another Hub account. I have deleted them, deindexted them on Google, and waiting for them to be removed from the Hub directory. Can we email hub staff still if we have issues? I couldn't find a link to them for this.
What issues are you referring to? If you still have another HP account, you can always email them using that one.
One word of warning. By deleting, de indexing and waiting you open yourself to plagiarists. If they steal your hubs, you'll have not one leg to stand on legally. Just sayin'
I just checked for plagiarism and found only one article had been so that one was sent a DMCA. The 3 I am transferring are clean. The account now shows as empty because I have unpublished everything on it.
I'm not sure what the issue was last time but a couple years ago when I went to transfer one it was declined. I wrote them and explained I was transferring it and they approved it. I am just worried in case that happens again.
I've moved a one or two and had no problems at all. I did the same as you - closed the other account down about 10 days ago. I'm just giving it a couple of weeks before I start re-releasing them. There were 69 hubs left there. I reckon only about half of them are good enough to republish.
Not worried about them having been copied. If that's the case, I'll DMCA the thieves and rewrite the article.
The email address is team@hubpages.
How can you DMCA if it's no longer published?
Marisa you go to the Wayback machine and send that in. It shows the date your article was live. I have used it a few times on DMCAs.
Once you delete a hub, there is no way to file a DMCA for it if someone steals it.
Wayback Machine. I have used it and had articles removed this way. If you want your articles saved there you can do that too. Just carry the url over and paste it there. Then you always have a permanent copy of your article.
Just be aware that not every webpage is on the Wayback machine.

There is so much of this going on that it may not be worthwhile to mention. Since I know that this site is not cooperative, I sent my DMCA complaint to Google. My hub is copied word for word with all the lovely photographs and even a link to another similar hub. It probably is my best hub with lots...

I just found that one of my Hubs was stolen in June 2014 and published in a magazine. I wouldn't have found out about it except that they have now put their magazine on-line. It was stolen by a slick looking magazine in Australia, and I am from the US. I told them if it wasn't...

Usually I find a couple pieces of stolen article copy on different sites. Today, it's more than enough to make me comment here. HP notifies us, adds the complaint link, and the complaint file cut-paste copy but little else to build a brick wall against content thieves. For every click...

I'm wondering if my best articles that are being copied can still be claimed as copied if the editors are making drastic changes to it.It really isn't the same article that the thieves took so filing a DMCA may be useless. BTW,most of my articles are on private blogger or websites without Google...

The site petradarsdotcom has taken Pethelpful in its entirety (comments, author bio, ect). I was not notified by HP that these articles were copied, so I'm not sure if they are still checking our articles or not as these articles were initally posted back in March/April of this year.The very bottom...
