  Good morning to everyone.
  Last friday I create a new blog (free plan) on Wp. I was following some blogs and suddenly the site blocked me. Till today I can’t follow….
  Some friends suppose that WordPress tag me into “spam” because of too many follows in one day. There’s someone who can help me?
  Thanks a lot.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  It is not recommended to follow too many blogs in one go.

  WordPress.com understands, users tend to follow stuffs of their interest however if a user follow too many blogs in short span of time then he/she might identified as a spammer.

  For future, I would recommend you to please the bookmark blogs of your interest and follow them after specific time interval. This way you won’t be identified as spammer.

  I’ve added “modlook” tag in sidebar for staff assistance. Staff will soon help you.

  Sometimes user’s faces this problem due to some browser issue. I recommend you please follow the steps mention in the article to clear the browser cache: https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache

  I hope that helped. Good luck!

  Hi denken00,

  I was following some blogs and suddenly the site blocked me. Till today I can’t follow….

  The Reader is intended for following posts on a reasonable number of sites — not for showing approval, promotion of your site or anything on that scale.

  Following a high number of sites will cause your reader to stop functioning as it should. For this reason, the follow feature has been disabled for your account.

  True engagement happens through submitting meaningful on topic comments to posts on sites with similar content. It does not come from the I follow your site you follow mine mentality.

  To follow a tag use for example https://wordpress.com/tag/millenials
