  Hi @steveapfel,

  Could you please tell us the address of the site you need help with? Once we know that we can point you in the right direction for support.

  Hi there,

  How exactly is this happening?

  Is this someone who has publishing rights on your site that are publishing actual posts? If so, you can revoke their access to your site under My Site ->Users ->All Users, and delete their posts from Posts ->All Posts.

  Is this someone who is commenting on your posts? If so, you can block them from commenting by adding their username to your comments blocklist:

  https://wordpress.com/support/settings/discussion-settings/#comment-moderation

  Or if they’re sending you a lot of pingbacks, adding them to the comment blocklist should also help, and you can just ignore the pingback notifications – if you don’t approve a pingback, it won’t appear on your site.
