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.)

Thanks so much. I am about to do some serious cleaning.

It took over an hour and a half, but I blocked 1640 accounts. Spammers, inactive, and fishy. Lord, what a chore. I will have to stay on top of this from now on.

(Had a list of her followers ... what cracks me up -- in an "it's so f*cked up it's funny" sort of way -- is that we have so many spammers at this point that they are now made to auto-follow each other. Now if only we could get to a point where that's *all* they are following ...)

That is amusing in a sad way.

If anyone at booklikes cares, I'm starting to see more posts like http://elainewhite359.booklikes.com/post/1842402/closing-down listing unchecked spam as a reason for leaving booklikes.

I think those (prostitution, keto, and businesses not related to books) are what disgusts most of us -- including those who are deciding to leave BL.

I don't ever report authors creating author pages here. That's something that BL encourages, and it's book-related (whether or not I choose to follow (back) / continue following an individual author is a different matter, but there definitely are authors I am following, or following back).

But the business spammers problem is only going to get worse if nobody at BL takes an interest.
