  I am suddenly, last couple weeks, getting LOTS of SPAM followers. Is there a filter or something that I have somehow turned off?

  For example:
  http://creditcardandfinance2020.wordpress.com
  http://watchesauthentic.wordpress.com
  http://ibshealth.wordpress.com
  http://rentalmobiljakartaselatan.wordpress.com
  http://directnorthstar.wordpress.com
  http://vvchartblog.wordpress.com

  etc… etc… lots more. Can I block these sites from subscribing somehow???

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

  No but you can report them. See here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/preventing-spammers-from-being-notified-of-new-posts/page/2?replies=47#post-1232764

  Okay, guess I will start reporting these. I have added comments to several of the other threads regarding this issue which is apparently out of control. I wonder how many people are having this issue and not mentioning it? WP please just give us a BLOCK function, APPROVE FOLLOWER function, call it whatever you want… Seems like the best solution!
