  Thanks.

  Hi,

  You can fill out this form to report content hosted by WordPress.com: https://wordpress.com/abuse/

  Alternatively there are other options to report a site listed here: https://wordpress.com/support/report-blogs/

  Hope that helps!

  Hello,

  Thank you for these links. We already filled out the form to report content, as we can’t seem to locate the follow button and report in the site.

  May I know how many days the user can be blocked from accessing our site?

  Thanks again!

  It is impossible to block someone from viewing a publicly available website. The only way to do so is to turn your site into an invite-only private site:
