  Hi there. There is no way to prevent anyone from viewing your site, save from setting it to private. Public sites can be viewed by literally anyone with an internet connection. You also cannot prevent another website from linking to yours. The only thing you can do in that respect is to not approve pingbacks so you don’t provide a link back to them on your site. To see how to set your site to private, see: https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  However, you can block another user from commenting by adding them to the comment blacklist. Just add the user’s username, email address (NOT the IP address – this will cause you to block other users as well) and site URL to the comment blacklist section under Settings ->Discussion in the dashboard. https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/#comment-blacklist

  If you want to report the content of any site, please use the drop-down menu in the admin bar while viewing that site. This is the ONLY way report blog content. We cannot help you with that in this forum as Terms of Service issues are not discussed in this forum: https://en.support.wordpress.com/report-blogs/
