Hi there,
We cannot block or delete subscribers from public blogs. Anyone and everyone can access public blogs and that’s indeed what the public designation means. However, please read this about public blogs that become private blogs > Blog Privacy and Subscribers > http://wpcommaven.wordpress.com/2011/09/05/blog-privacy-and-subscribers/
To change blog visibility to Private go to Dashboard > Settings > Reading scroll to Site Visibility and choose option 3
http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/Note that you have complete control over everything that’s posted to your blog via comment moderation
http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/#comment-moderationFor trolls, you can “blacklist” them at Settings > Discussion toward the bottom of that page. Enter their email address, their username, and if they included it, their website URL. That will automatically send them to moderation so that their comments do not appear on the blog. Do note though that if they are determined, they can use a different email address or username to get around that.
Also, do not put their IP address in the blacklist. IP addresses are no longer unique, and you might end up blocking legitimate visitors. In fact for over a decade only about 30% of us have IPs that trace back to any individual computer. Also, all they would have to do is go to a wi-fi hot spot, or connect via a different ISP and they could get around that.
Our reality is that if the ability to remove or followers existed our time would be squandered on removing unwanted followers because anyone can get a new email address and or a new IP in seconds flat and then they can subscribe again to any public blog they were removed from.
If someone has an inappropriate rating for a Gravatar image, please log into to Gravatar and use the “Report Abuse” link on their Gravatar profile bottom right hand corner to let Staff know.
Also note that on this page > Settings > Discussion if you scroll down you will find you can set a Maximum Rating for gravatar display on your blog.
G — Suitable for all audiences
PG — Possibly offensive, usually for audiences 13 and above
R — Intended for adult audiences above 17
X — Even more mature than aboveIf the follower has an inappropriate blog hosted here at WordPress.com, you can also report that to us so we can deal with that: Report Mature or Spam Blogs http://en.support.wordpress.com/report-blogs/
Please see this Staff reply concerning spam followers:

We get many reactions from the same wordpress user, who uses different names but has the same IP adress. Everytime we block him he uses another fake name, how can we report him? Can WordPress delete this IP adres permanently?
This is 1 of his sites, but he has dozens other sites, each time under a different name, but all with the same IP adress:

Are these comments you’re referring to? If so, you should be able to use the Comment Blacklist mentioned below along with the IP address to automatically filter this user’s comments:

If the blacklist only hold back his nicknames, it is useless. He changes his nickname every day. The only thing that works effectively, is to bann is IP!

Name, URL, e-mail, IP.

@realpredictor – The blacklist does automatically spam certain IP addresses.
I just checked your comment section, and I don’t see a comment more recent than 5/15 (when we setup the IP block). Have you received a comment from this IP address since putting the IP on the blacklist? Can you let me know which comment? You can grab a comment link by clicking the timestamp as shown here:

Hi!
The comment blacklist does not apply to emails sent to your account. Are you referring to the comment notification email that was sent to you signifying a new comment on your blog? If so, rather than forward the email, follow these steps:
1. Start here:
https://eunmask.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit-comments.php
2. Find the comment you’re referring to
3. Click the timestamp as shown here:
4. Copy and paste that URL into a response here.

multicultiknuffe1aar commented on Racisten! Allemaal!PRACHTIG! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hfrXEUEvD0
Deze opa heeft inderdaad een geweldig gevoel voor humor! :-)
Zelfs multiculti-knuffelaars kunnen zijn grapjes zeer waarderen, omdat hij op grandioze wijze de overdreven paniek van de islamofoben persifleert!
