blocking new posts emails from certain followers
-
I know that the blogs are public but I think we should have the ability to delete/block email followers so they no longer get new blog post emails…I don’t want a certain someone getting these notifications…one should be able to delete them.
I realize that this person could still go to the blog and read it, I just don’t want them always getting the notifications ya know?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

We cannot block or delete subscribers from public blogs. Anyone and everyone can access public blogs and that’s indeed what the public designation means. However, please read this about public blogs that become private blogs > Blog Privacy and Subscribers > http://wpcommaven.wordpress.com/2011/09/05/blog-privacy-and-subscribers/
To change blog visibility to Private go to Dashboard > Settings > Reading scroll to Site Visibility and choose option 3

Note that you have complete control over everything that’s posted to your blog via comment moderation
http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/#comment-moderationFor trolls, you can “blacklist” them at Settings > Discussion toward the bottom of that page. Enter their email address, their username, and if they included it, their website URL. That will automatically send them to moderation so that their comments do not appear on the blog. Do note though that if they are determined, they can use a different email address or username to get around that.
Also, do not put their IP address in the blacklist. IP addresses are no longer unique, and you might end up blocking legitimate visitors. In fact for over a decade only about 30% of us have IPs that trace back to any individual computer. Also, all they would have to do is go to a wi-fi hot spot, or connect via a different ISP and they could get around that.

Sorry but that capability does not exist here.

Thank you.
I was just saying that it would be nice if it did exist here :)
That’s all.
All the best in the new year! -
