  Is there a feature like ordinary SNS to block user? I suppose there isn’t, but just in case.

  TIA.

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: No
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  I don’t like to get like from the specific user.

  Hi there,

  There is not a specific feature on WordPress.com that will block traffic to your site from certain users or countries. Can you tell us more about the likes you are getting so we can take a closer look? You are getting “spam likes” from a specific individual?

  Thanks for the additional info!

  Yes, seems like I’m getting spam likes from a specific person. Although I’ve told him not to do so, he won’t stop. From the start I’d like to delete like feature but it’s impossible.

  Thanks for clarifying. Unfortunately because your site is publicly available on the internet, anyone with a WordPress.com account can click on the like button on your site. If you wish to turn off this feature though, it is possible. You can follow the steps here: https://wordpress.com/support/likes/#turn-likes-on-off-across-your-site

  Also you did not mention the user by name but you can also report their conduct here and our Community Guardians can investigate and take appropriate action. Report Abuse

  Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
