blocking blogs
-
i have blocked a certain blog 3 or 4 times, always getting this message: “The blog _____ will no longer appear in your reader.” then, a few days later, it is back. we have different politics.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Sorry for the trouble! Is it appearing under one of the tag views for you? If so, which tag?
-
it shows up in my reader; i’m not sure what “tag views” are. i’m not sure how blogs are selected to appear in my reader and have no quibble with most of them but this guy is in-your-face political and i’m not into that.

If it shows up in your Reader’s general view, then you are Following it. You’ll need to visit the blog and click the Unfollow button which appears in your admin bar.

i don’t think that is correct. i’ve never deliberately followed him, and the option is “follow” – not “unfollow”
i clicked FOLLOW and then BLOCK and got the same message i always do – this blog will no longer show up, etc – but the very next time i sign in to wordpress, it’s there
i am in the process of setting up a blogger blog – don’t want to do that, but if your automation FORCES me to see content i do not want and have tried DOZENS of time to block, i will have no choice but to follow through on it
“MrMilitantNegro” is as offensive to me as my having “SuperiorWhiteMale” show up in his stream. i do NOT want politics!!!

Ok, try this. Visit http://theobamacrat.com/ hit Follow in the admin bar. Don’t block it.
Now, re-load http://theobamacrat.com/ and hit Unfollow in the admin bar.
Sometimes the system needs to be jostled around a bit.

sorry – that did not work. i have seen wordpress’s promise that this blog will not appear in my stream anymore too many times. since my blog is linked to a product – a book – i will have to republish the book, etc, but if that’s what it takes to avoid political content i neither want nor agree with, that’s what i’ll do. you have a lovely product here, but this is an unacceptable glitch.

Sorry, bear with me here. What’s happening to you should not be happening, so I’m trying to figure out *why* it’s happening so we can fix it.
What is the URL that you’re seeing it at?
Is it https://wordpress.com/ or something like https://wordpress.com/tag/politics/ ?
-
it’s https://wordpress.com, hidden under Automattic, Inc. i go to wordpress.com, get the sign-in screen asking for my user name and password, and get sent to the “reader.”
i scroll down reader, and there the offending site is – every single time. i hit block, get the “this blog will no longer show up” with an undo option, and log out. the next time i log in, he’s still there. and, since i followed him so as to block him with the admin bar as per prior instructions, i now get an assortment of other racially-charged blogs.
-
MrMilitantNegro / theobamacrat STILL shows in my reader but the other blogs related to his subject matter have disappeared. i’d be a completely random hack if that’s why i can’t get rid of him, because i’ve not commented on his blog and actually supported obama and racial equality for years). but i CANNOT get rid of him and DO NOT want him.
-
What is the date and title on the post from this site in your Reader?
We we went two weeks back into your Reader and didn’t see any posts from it.
-
Never mind, we found it, just glanced over it and spoke to too soon. We’re looking into this!
-
Ok, the post you’re seeing in your Reader is from theobamacrat.com, but that’s not why you’re seeing it. :)
You’re seeing the post because a blog you follow has re-blogged it: http://valentinelogar.com/2014/08/13/in-defense-of-black-rage-michael-brown-police-and-the-american-dream/
That blog appears to be re-blogging a lot of posts from theobamacrat.com, perhaps every single post. You should probably stop following that blog. :)
Sorry for the confusion, we’ll look into a way to make re-blogs clearer in the Reader.
