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

  Thanks, did you already remove them? I don’t see them currently.

  Hi. Yes, I found the place where one can remove followers and did it yesterday afternoon. I can’t be the only one this has happened to. It was a follow via email which I found strange as I took the feature off. Thank you.

  These things can happen sometimes, you did good removing them from following you. If you notice an unusual amount of followers from similar email addresses, let us know, we’ll have a look :)

  Hi fresatomica: yes, I do make a point of letting staff know immediately any of these weird email addresses comes up. It was quite the attack we all endured, users and staff alike, at the time. Thank you for being there and being prompt.
