  I’m sorry but we cannot delete the individual likes others leave on our posts even those that are from obvious like button spammers who are clicking to drive traffic back to their own sites. Some photobloggers are notorious for such despicable behavior but they are not alone by far.

  All we can do is what’s here.

  P.S. I reported the blog linked to the gravatar with the bullet in the mouth as that user clearly has a mature content blog.

  You may also want to go to this page on your blog http://amarquette333.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-discussion.php and select the maximum image rating setting for gravatar display there to General (G).

  Maximum Rating
  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

  I am glad I was able to help you. :)

  P.S. Not many people like my username. I chose it after the second time the grim reaper failed to harvest my life, and that was years before the negative connotation was placed on the name. Now have dodged the grim reaper for a third time and I have no inclination to chnage it.

  I would hate to turn OFF the Like button since I have never had this kind of person (that I know of and at least not obvious) to Like one of my posts. But I will if I have to. Also, I will double check, but I believe I already have my Maximum Rating as G.

  There are all kinds of people on the internet just as there are in our offline lives. However, spam like button clickers are few in number so not disabling the like button is a choice you can make.

  Best wishes.
