    Hi there,

    There is no way to prevent someone from following your site, aside from setting your site to private. If your site is published publicly on the web, anyone with an internet connection can follow it, and they don’t even need to use WordPress.com to do this.

    If you believe the content on the follower’s site is violating our terms of service, you can report the site, provided it’s actually on WordPress.com, and we can take a look, but that still won’t prevent them from being able to follow you.

    Three of them constantly, I remove them 4 or more times daily. It is daunting. Other sites give the ability to block such spam, they are obviously using software to accomplish this. Is there a software I can use to block them?
