  As per the title, can I either remove a Like from a post, or approve them first, like I do with Comments?

  Reason I ask is that I’m getting regular Likes on my posts from someone who is just spamming her commercial service which relates to my content.
  (Maybe she actually does like my content but I don’t like her leeching on my work).

  Thanks, hope it’s not too basic a question, I did search the Help and Forums, tho’ not very hard.

  Please post an active link starting with http:// to the blog in question. No I’m sorry but I don’t see that ability here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/likes/
  You can mange your own likes but not the likes of others. You can activate or deactivate likes on your blog as a whole or your can deactivate likes on specific posts.

  Thanks TT. I did not post an active link to the blog in question, as it’s a generic enquiry, albeit related to my public blog where the content is very personal.
  I deactivated all Likes for my blog, which is a shame, but I would rather do that than have some ghoulish woman spam her products on my blog.
  Settings – Sharing – and untick “Show a like button and who has liked my post on all of my blog posts above the comments section”

  I’m sorry you had to do this and now understand why you did not post the URL. Best wishes with your blogging.
