  Hello,
  For several weeks, I can not subscribe to another WordPress blog
  I receive the following message at each test : “Sorry, there was a problem signing up. Try Again.”
  And this with each subscription request.
  Is there a setting to make?
  Thank you for your help
  cordially

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

  Hi there,

  It looks like you got caught by one of our automated blocks against bulk-following by mistake. I’ve re-enabled following on your account, so you should be able to follow sites again now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

  @shanalie, It looks like you were actually blocked for bulk-following, as you repeatedly follow large numbers of sites in a very short time period. I’ve re-enabled follows for your site, but note that if you keep on following sites in this way your account might be blocked again.

  I also notice you’re currently following almost 1000 sites, and that’s after you unsubscribed from several hundred sites after your follows being blocked. wanted to let you know that the Reader feature is intended for following posts on a reasonable number of sites — not for showing approval, promotion of your sites, or really anything on this scale. Going forward, please only follow sites you actually want to read, or the Reader feature might just stop working completely for you.
