I am guessing there is no way to selectively block another blogger from clicking like. I don't like the idea that someone looking at my post could see who was liking it and, well. . . associate me with that person.

I know I can block her from commenting, but can I also block her from liking? Would I have to turn off the "like" button completely?

We cannot block like button spammers. All we can do is disable the like button for all visitors.

My gravatar setting is marked at G, however someone "liked" my post today and their gravatar is a completely nude male body from the neck down. It's completely unacceptable and as the blog owner, I should have the ability to either remove someone's like or block their gravatar.

Please, please, please consider adding such capability. It would be much appreciated.

Link to this forum post when you explain what kind of spam liking you're doing.

Second, I agree with this and I've put a thread up on the Ideas board requesting more control over these things:

As a fallback the blog author should have the ability to block someone.

As a fallback the blog author should have the ability to block someone.

Nevertheless I have informed "Gravatar" as per the referenced link and have moved to another blog hosting solution.

Ratings are for the images not the profile.

If your concern is with the profile, reporting it via http://en.gravatar.com/site/contact-us/ is the right thing to do.

I remain of the position if bot profiles can't be blocked from "likes" then WP is not a complete solution nor safe for casual or professional use.

I agree with your position. I would report this to Gravatar support > http://en.gravatar.com/site/contact-us/

The profile has a "G" rating picture but it is clearly one of shall we say alluring nature. When you view the profile it sends you to a "ladyornot.com" web address.

I'm not looking to disable the Gravatar feature in totality. I'm looking to block specific profiles when they are of a nature that is clearly unprofessional.

Thank you for your replies but I remain of the position if bot profiles can't be blocked from "likes" then WP is not a complete solution nor safe for casual or professional use. I'm happy to go elsewhere.

For clarity likes and shares numbers are misleading when you consider page view stats. Your followers and anyone with a WordPress.com blog who is logged into WordPress.com can "like" and "share" your posts in several locations such as the Reader without ever clicking into your blog and creating a page view stat. Those who have username accounts only but no blog can become followers and click the "like" and/or "share" buttons. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/07/09/wordpress-followers-likes-and-stats/

Note: To compel readers to click into my blog to read the full post thereby creating a page view stat, I have set my RSS Feed for posts to “summary” on this page > Settings > Reading
