Just followed me; how do I block them?

1. Open your main dashboard. As you no doubt already know at this point, the green bar up top to the left saying "dashboard" is a drop-down menu.
2. Mouse over the drop-down menu to open it. Your sixth or seventh option down (below "Discussions") is "Friends". Click on that.
3. Your "Friends" section has several sub-sections, all visible by way of tabs next to the main page title ("Friends"). The third of these tabs is "Followers". Click on that tab.
4. You should now be seeeing your "Followers" page, with all followers shown in little visiting card style windows displaying their blog name and profile picture (and the date of their last activity). In the upper right-hand corner of those "visiting card"-style mini-profiles, you can also see the BookLikes "reblog" symbol (two arrows forming a rectangle with rounded corners).
5. If you mouse over that symbol, ANOTHER symbol will appear right next to it -- a slashed-through circle meaning "block(ed)".
6. Click on the "block" symbol. A pop-up window will appear, asking, "Are you sure?" Confirm (click "yes"). Eh voilà! If you now refresh your followers page, the removed spammer should no longer be there.
(7. Optional: To make double sure, click on the second tab from right in the tabs menu at the top of the "wooden background" part of the friends / followers page: "blocked". The person whom you have just removed should show up in the list of the blocked people -- even though not necessarily at the very top; where on that page they are depends on when they were last active on Booklikes.)

Got it, thanks so much! The interface isn't always intuitive.

No, it's not -- and what is particularly confusing in this instance is that you do also have a "followers" page in blog view, but you can't block anyone from there. Basically, all "admin" actions have to be done in dashboard / main BL interface view.

I've made it a habit to check my "friends" tab just about every day. I block any account that isn't actively bookish.

You know, I would be more than willing to admin this site if any of the powers that need would approve me. I would tackle this stuff with gusto

@Mallory -- I volunteered to be a Librarian ages ago, maybe two years ago, and was told they weren't accepting new librarians until site issues had been stabilized.

Then Kate disappeared.

I'm not holding my breath.

That's so stupid. If we are willing to take on the responsibility why can't we? They certainly aren't doing anything.

I think it's because there's no one there now.

I did. Still haven't heard back.

I hope you will -- but I wouldn't have high hopes.

That one got assigned to me, too, T-A.

I've blocked four new accounts today already, and it's barely 1:00 p.m.

This is a dumb question, but how do you block followers? I want to clean up my followers but I have no clue how to block the spammers
