Please let me block porn/spam "followers". They are horrible.

  I am unable to block “followers” – and I am getting horrid spam followers (eg pimpdaddylovemuffin). Please can you allow bloggers to either block spam or to disable the follow “service” (which is not a service if it is full of porn spam).

  Following is a user-controlled option, so the only way to block it or shut it off would be to make your site private.

  Regarding pimpdaddylovemuffin, despite his ridiculous username, he’s actually a normal guy with a normal blog. No porn there.

  Porn is not allowed on WordPress.com, so if you do find any, please contact us via http://en.wordpress.com/abuse/
