  Hi there,
  Is this the same person that has been previously reported?

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

  I’ll tag this thread for a Staff follow-up. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

  Hi and thanks for a prompt reply! No, my follower is micaela schaefer
  [Link redacted by staff], but as of the moment I am writing, her Gravatar has been deleted. Thank you for the link above – now I am armed :)

  Hi jouena, it looks like you’re all set for now (thanks, timethief!) but please let me know if I can do anything more to help.

  We’re looking into other ways to let you handle these sorts of followers in the future, but for now reporting the follower’s Gravatar profile is a good step. 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
