  As I try to follow blogs, I get a red banner from WordPress telling me that I am unable to do so. I have tried following on the app, my personal computer, and on a work desktop. I have even tried following people on different browsers, but still not allowed to follow anyone else.

  The blog I need help with is juliedavide.wordpress.com.

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

  Hi @jdavide105,

  This is something that can happen if you follow many sites within a short period of time sometimes. I have tagged this thread for Staff assistance (modlook tag), so they can help you with it.

  In the meantime, have a look at this thread with a Staff reply about following:

  Hi –

  This is an anti-spam measure. You weren’t violating a policy. You were engaged in spam-like behaviour, abusing a feature for a purpose for which it wasn’t intended.

  The purpose of the Following feature is clearly explained in https://en.support.wordpress.com/following/

  Please confirm that you understand the above link.

  Yes, I do. I apologize I was unfollowing multiple blogs that I was no longer interested in as it was clogging up my reader. Can it been unblocked or is this permanent?
