I suggest you focus on creating and publishing blog content.

However, exactly what Gravatar Staff can or will do, given there is no criteria for registering a Gravatar other than providing an email address, is yet to be seen. To do that you can click the "report abuse" button on the bottom right hand corner of the appropriate Gravatar profile page.

If you look at my blog's most recent post you will see the person I'm referring to. it's the only entry in the 'like' box.

I'm a complete novice but I wonder if one could have a setting that to send an actual message the sender must first actually 'follow' the blog in question.

I would ♥love♥ to have the ability to approve or disapprove follower requests but that's not possible here.

If we had that ability we could some confidence in the numbers of followers reflected here http://wordpress.com/#!/my-stats/?blog_subscribers and that followers list could become a reliable way to gauge audience growth.

None of the ones I've received have been followers just visitors. Might be a little bit of a filter?

Blog owners have less privilege than spammers. I increasingly get "spam likes" from adult content but WordPress would rather have me turn off likes and a valuable source of feedback than fix the problem. Or, is this a means to get subscribers to "upgrade" generating more cash for Matt:( (cheap shot) but very annoyed.

This has been a long standing problem based on forum comments.
