    Read this please https://en.support.wordpress.com/ip-addresses/#blocking-ip-addresses and then mark all spam as spam.

    re: removing inactive subscribers

    Please note that deleting an email address does NOT prevent the same person from subscribing again under the same email address or under a new email address.

    Therefore the process of removing subscriber’s email addresses is aimed for use when we have subscribers who want to unsubscribe and who have failed to click the “unsubscribe” link on the bottom of the email updates of our posts they receive. Alternatively, it is aimed for use when email subscribers are “inactive”.

    re: blocking or deleting followers and or/ email subscribers

    We cannot totally block or delete subscribers from public WordPress.COM hosted blogs. Anyone and everyone can access public blogs and that’s indeed what the public designation means.

    To change blog visibility to Private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3. See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings

    Also read this about public blogs that become private blogs > Blog Privacy and Subscribers > http://wpcommaven.wordpress.com/2011/09/05/blog-privacy-and-subscribers/

    To change blog visibility to Private go to Dashboard > Settings > Reading scroll to Site Visibility and choose option 3
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

    You don’t need an upgrade of any kind at all to invite multiple people to contribute to a private blog. See:
    adding users http://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-users/
    user roles http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/
    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

    For trolls, you can “blacklist” them at Settings > Discussion toward the bottom of that page. Enter their email address, their username, and if they included it, their website URL. That will automatically send them to moderation so that their comments do not appear on the blog. Do note though that if they are determined, they can use a different email address or username to get around that.

    Also, do not put their IP address in the blacklist. IP addresses are no longer unique, and you might end up blocking legitimate visitors. In fact for over a decade only about 30% of us have IPs that trace back to any individual computer. Also, all they would have to do is go to a wi-fi hot spot, or connect via a different ISP and they could get around that.

    Additional information:

    Our reality is that if the ability to remove or followers existed our time would be squandered on removing unwanted followers because anyone can get a new email address and or a new IP in seconds flat and then they can subscribe again to any public blog they were removed from.

    If someone has an inappropriate rating for a Gravatar image, please log into to Gravatar and use the “Report Abuse” link on their Gravatar profile bottom right hand corner to let Staff know.

    Also note that on this page > Settings > Discussion if you scroll down you will find you can set a Maximum Rating for gravatar display on your blog.

    G — Suitable for all audiences
    PG — Possibly offensive, usually for audiences 13 and above
    R — Intended for adult audiences above 17
    X — Even more mature than above

    If the follower has an inappropriate blog hosted here at WordPress.com, you can also report that to us so we can deal with that: Report Mature or Spam Blogs http://en.support.wordpress.com/report-blogs/

    I too have fallen prey at times when I don’t install my usual payload of plugins and end up getting comments from people trying to generate backlinks and whatnot. One method could be to contact the owner of domain(s) (there are often more than one, all part of a network). You could advise him that you seek settlement for the cost of resources for his abuse of your website. If this fails, you can start posting negative reviews about their domains. Should that not generate enough attention, there are plenty of botnets for rent that could be utilized to change their minds.

    Hi @jensenevan30, I can see you have some blocked text in there, but it’s all on one line. That won’t work, since it needs to be one word or IP address per line.

    Next time they comment, get their IP address from the comment, and put that in your block list. If you need help, please let us know, but leave the comment so we can find it.

    Also, don’t feed the trolls. The more you respond and retaliate, the harder they’ll try to hurt you. Luckily you can set your site up to ignore them. :)
