Influx of Outlook.com Subscribers?

    Hi there,

    Thank you for reading this post.

    Recently, I started my blog and I added the option of ‘Follow Blog via Email.’

    I am stoked that we have built up to 44 followers (it’s the little victories) however I noticed that a majority of the ‘followers’ are coming from outlook.com.

    I suspect that the followers are spammers or bots.

    Question: Is there any way I can create or adjust settings to make sure that the followers are human (similar to CAPTCHA)?

    I look forward to your responses.

    Sincerely,

    Tristan Vali

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

    Hi there,

    Those followers are spammers. We are working on blocking them – this is not something you can control from your site’s end.
