Paula Light gives us the opportunity to rant and I am taking advantage today.
Every day for the past couple of weeks I have a new follower who I delete…. every day.
He has popped up umpteen times before too, and each time I have deleted him.
He appears to be a business man and seems to have several handles judging by his picture and the names of ‘blogs’ he owns.
As with all new followers, I like to look them up and get a feel for who they are.
None of this guy’s sites exist.
It appears he may be purely piggybacking on my blog to increase his WP reputation and I resent it.
He may have ‘liked’ once or twice, but he never comments. He just ‘follows’.
You know who you are DK.
Please. Leave me alone.

I have someone like that “nomorefriendzone” or something. I see he has refollowed me and shall be thrown off once again!
Not the same guy as me, but I am getting so tired of deleting him.
How irritating for you
And he’s back today…………. and deleted. I bet now he doesn’t even read my posts
What if you ignored him?
I’m thinking of doing just that now. Though in the past he seems to drop and then bounces back at me.
Pretend he doesn’t exist.
I think I will, he isn’t worth my energy or effort to delete him. Chances are he’ll drop automatically after a month or so anyway.
Even if he lingers on, it won’t matter to you. I’ve blocked a few bloggers who were leaving strange comments. Thankfully they got the message.
🙂
👍🏼
A stalker!! Too bad there isn’t a way to “block” people!
I’ve put him on my black list, but he’s back today (and deleted) so he probably doesn’t even read my posts!
How do you delete followers? I have some I need to delete that are definitely businesses!
sorry he’s pestering you!
He was back again today. PITA.
I delete them via the stats page. There’s a ‘followers’ button on the top right and the drop down menu shows you who they are, so I remove him.
Thanks for the info on that follower’s option. I black list my trolls, but never have had one (well one) who has been so tenacious. There is a blogger who seems to be extremely right wing who keeps trying to interact with me. She’ll pop up under a variation of her original blog name (on my blocked list) every now and then. The last time she pestered me for two weeks and now she’s dropped off. I’m hoping she gone for good. We got into a bit of a slanging match about Christianity in the first place and that’s when the block went into effect. Overly pious asshats who see no opinion but their own as being ‘right” aren’t welcome. I hope your troll drowns in a virtual lake. Can you report him to WP for harassment?
He’s not actually harassing me, just keeps following me (again today and deleted so obviously didn’t read my peeve post) . He doesn’t comment or actually do anything, just an annoying boomerang who can’t take a hint. Ho hum.
