  Please please help me. The last person to sign on is some sort of porno site and I blocked her on Twitter and would like her off my blog. Please tell me how I do this.

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

  I’m in the same boat… I’d like to block someone, but after searching on WordPress I don’t think it is possible! If I’m wrong, can someone also help me? It’s for my blog, http://www.occupythecloset.com

  We cannot block or delete subscribers from public blogs. Everyone on the internet can view and follow any public blog. That is in fact what the public designation means and anyone anyone with internet access can follow your public blog’s RSS Feed.

  You can change your blog visibility to “private” http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/ Please read this about public blogs that become private blogs > Blog Privacy and Subscribers > http://wpcommaven.wordpress.com/2011/09/05/blog-privacy-and-subscribers/

  Note that you have complete control over everything that’s posted to your blog via comment moderation
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/#comment-moderation

  You don’t have to post any comment on your blog. Delete troll posts http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/03/27/how-to-starve-a-troll/
  and mark only spam as spam. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2013/01/24/mark-only-spam-as-spam/
