spam followers and spammed forum page
-
I’ve been having a lot of new followers the last few days, and most of them seem to be spam followers.
I wanted to look what the forum says about that and found the whole first forum page spammed with call girl adds!The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

As far as spam followers, this is the reason that a number of us long-time users have turned off the “likes” from displaying on our posts. But if you have the time to police your “likes” and/or “followers” feel free to report them as spam as per my forum question and Staff reply: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/reporting-spammer-gravatar-profiles?replies=14#post-1569981
What do I do if I see spam in the forums?
Spam is a violation of our forums code of conduct. If you see it you can add a tag that says ‘spammer’ to the thread, and another that says ‘modlook’ to make sure staff see the spam so we can remove it.http://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/
If you see it, feel free to tag it as suggested. Don’t wait for someone else to do it.

One more important thing. If your followers also have a WordPress.com site and are posting spam there, you can report them as well via the report link in the Admin bar, as explained here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/report-blogs/

Oh, and I did tag my forum entry “modlook” but didn’t know about the “spammer” tag, so thanks for that.

You’re welcome! If you’ve received answers to your questions, could you please remove the “modlook” tag from this post if you were the one who added it here? Thanks. That way Staff can proceed to assist in other threads that need help.
