  I am being trolled by some accounts. How can I block them?

  There isn’t a way to block individual people from viewing a publicly available website, I’m afraid. You can set your site to be “private” and only invite the people who you want to have viewing, but that may not be something you want to do.

  If the trolling is coming in the form of comments, you can turn on manual comment moderation using these instructions here:

  It won’t stop you from seeing the comments, but it will keep them from appearing on the site. This may help discourage the troll.

  Let us know if anything is unclear or you have any further questions.
