My blog has always been private; yet the infamous “Emily” is now a spam follower. Could you please delete her from my followers ? Many thanks !

If your site is private, no followers will receive updates. Only users listed in your dashboard under the Users tab.
If your site is public, spam comes with the territory. If you’re getting continual spam comments from particular users, try blacklisting their usernames, email addresses, or IP addresses:
