How do i block a certain individual from MAKING a comment ?
-
I have a stalker.
I’ve blocked his emails , but i now find he is trying to contact me by leaving comments on my wordpress site.
I’ve looked for some way of blacklisting his email , but i can only see spam moderation.
I don’t want this individual to be able to leave a comment that i will still have to read and moderate.
I want to know if there is a way to block him completely ??
ThanksThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Yes, easily. Under Settings->Discussion, put his username or his email, or both, into the Blacklist box. There are two boxes on that page: one for moderation and one for the blacklist.

thanks but i had a look at that , and from my understanding of it , i will still have to view and moderate this individuals comments.
I’m looking for some way to block them completely , so that they are unable to comment at all , because i will have blocked their email address and key words.
A complete block , and they will know they are blocked and are unable to post the comment in the first place.
Anything like that ? -
There is no way on a public blog to block any individual completely block anyone. Moreover we can all get a new IP and new email address in no time flat. raincoaster has supplied what you can do and it takes only moments to moderate a comment and send it to the Trash. Your only other alternative is to set your blog visibility to “private”.

yes i appreciate that. I just would prefer to not have to read the stalkers comments at all , but i understand the situation and i’ve done what raincoaster suggested.
Thanks for taking the time to reply both of you =) -
