is it possible to block an individual follower?

is it possible to block a follower? i’m trying to find the “privacy settings” on the dash and can’t find them to try to block a person. i realize that even if i block them as a follower, they could still find the blog by typing the url, but i’m hoping that maybe they’ll forget the url (?) and leave me alone???
thanks,
jeannineThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Make sure Comments are set to require a moderator to approve them – then delete the comments – that keeps the comments from getting on your blog – if the person is really annoying – see if you can get a friend to run interference for you and check the comments and delete the ones from the evil person

Agree with Jeepwidow – there should be a way to block a follower like there is on Twitter etc. I’ve got a couple that look pretty creepy :(

We cannot block or delete subscribers from public blogs. Everyone on the internet can view and follow any public blog.
You can change your blog visibility to “private” http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/ Please read this about public blogs that become private blogs > Blog Privacy and Subscribers > http://wpcommaven.wordpress.com/2011/09/05/blog-privacy-and-subscribers/
Note that you have complete control over everthing that’s posted to your blog.

comment blacklisting
http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/#comment-blacklistHowever, if you blacklist be aware that you could be affecting legitimate commenters as well. IP addresses have not been unique for nigh unto 15 years now. ISPs place hundreds of us in the same IP block. Moreover, using the blacklist is useless when people can get a new IP and/or new email address in no time flat.

thank you timetheif for your input. my issue actually lies with a family member following the blog who may take the information in the blog and use it against me, despite the fact that i keep the “characters” in my blog anonymous. also a recent follow from a former felon has me a bit skeeved out. i realize that this is a public forum, but i also feel we should have more control over our followers.

Your feelings may be shared by many but this policy is not going to change – not now and not ever.
Public is public and private is private.
