Multiple Account Liking
-
Good Afternoon,
Three of our blog’s posts recently got seven likes. We have reason to suspect that the same person is using multiple accounts to like our posts, as all accounts link to different website urls that look very similar. For instance, one account named ‘FreePlrArticles’ links to a very identical website, to which the account ‘Family PLR’ links to. I have since turned-off the linking feature on our website, to prevent further abuse, and have disabled e-mail notifications, in the event that someone likes our posts again. But, I was wondering if there is anything else we can do or if there is any other disciplinary action that can be taken against this person, for continually liking three specific posts (seven-times, as of today) on our blog, which direct us to rather identical-looking websites.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
I’m afraid there is no way to prove that the same person is using multiple accounts to like your posts, and even if there were, that is not in any way against our terms of use.
We have measures in place to restrict people who abuse the feature by rapidly liking large numbers of posts without reading them in an attempt to drive traffic to their own sites, but it does not sound like that’s what is happening here.
While you can certainly choose to not display Likes on your site, that does not prevent anyone from liking your posts, as they can still do so directly from the WordPress.com Reader.
Someone liking your posts cannot in any way harm your site or compromise your account, your computer, or those of your site visitors, so if you don’t think these likes are genuine, the best option is to simply ignore them.
