  A number of people have followed my blog as a means of promoting their business. I would love the option to remove followers that are, in effect, spam.

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

  Hi there. As long as your blog is set to public, ANYONE with an internet connection can follow it. There is no way to prevent it and there is no way to remove a follower.

  I understand. It would just be nice if you could block people.

  Since you don’t display subscribers there is nothing for them to gain in traffic from your site

  If by followers you mean people who Like a post, you can turn Likes off as well, under Sharing settings.

  Also, when you are logged in on Gravatar you can report them for abuse.
