  I love using the Reader function of WordPress, but recently (over the past week or so) I’ve noticed a huge influx of posts in my Blogs I Follow reader from blogs that I do NOT follow. Indeed, when I click the blog title, the Follow + button appears next to the Blog, indicating that I am NOT currently following the blog, yet it still shows up in my Blogs I Follow Reader.

  Here are a few that are plaguing me at the moment, although there does not seem to be a pattern.

  http://wordpress.com/read/blog/id/58472426/

  The list goes on… Please assist me, as the posts I DO want to see are being drowned by these (seemingly) spamtastic posts. How are they showing up in my reader!?

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

  This is resolved. It appears that a blog I AM following has been obsessively reblogging content, forcing it to appear in my Blogs I Follow reader.

  I immediately unfollow any blog that is being used as a reblog dump blog.
