  Is there a way to delete “likes” from posts? I have a post I just put up that was liked by four people, at least three of which are obviously spammers and didn’t actually read the post. Well, maybe they read it, but it doesn’t look like they care what it said, they’re just liking random things to try to expose their own blogs to more people, since their blogs seem to exist just to sell things.

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

  I’m sorry but there is no way aside from disabling like button use for everyone that we can use to cope with these sleazy like button spammers.

  Yeah, I thought as much. I think I’m taking it harder because I just started doing this, and I’m thinking “Wait, what?? Like-spamming is a thing?! Come on!” :-D
