  How do I remove spam email addresses from my followers list? Recently I received several followers with the @xlxe.pl email address and all of them show up on spam sites. I’d like to remove these addresses if possible and block any more from getting through.

  Hi,

  The short answer is that you can’t remove followers from a publicly viewable blog.

  For a longer answer, including our battles with this sort of issue in general, please read this thread:

  Please let me know if you have any questions.
