Any way to either remove a like or report?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I had some disgusting wordpress site do a like on one of my posts, and really do not want this on my blog, however small and fleeting it is. Can/how i remove it, report it or block it?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  • Hi there!

    You can remove this user from your followers but you wouldn’t be able to remove the like without removing this feature in general for that post.
    If your site is public, anyone with a WordPress.com account can give a like to one of your posts if you have enabled this option.

    You can consider disabling likes or making your site private and only allow your trusted readers to visit it:

    As for the user in question, you can report their site, our TOS team will review it:

    Thanks. Wasn’t a follower, just a random sleaze, one of those who likes a post just to get you to check you out. I ended up duplicating the post to keep it’s “integrity”.

    “check *them* out” i mean :) Same as some of the pathetic “followers” that “post” toilet cleaning secrets, engagement rings (4 blogs with appropriated ring photos???), spanish tutoring, Miss Baby girl party dresses, and all those life coaches, vile torture photo bloggers, “designers” who can’t spell design: “desing” repeatedly??? REALLY?, gaming geeks, teeth nuts (REALLY?) and sunshiney wanna be fashionistas.

    (Scusi.)

    Hi there, hope you don’t mind me adding to this discussion.

    Because of the way the Like feature works, a user has to have a WordPress.com/Gravatar account.

    If they don’t have a WPcom site on their Gravatar profile, or their Gravatar image is not G-rated, you can report them for abuse on Gravatar directly when you are logged in with your own WPcom account. Look at the very bottom of the left sidebar on their profile and you should see a “Report Abuse” link.
