And also for a follower it should be possible to choose for unfollow.

This is already availabe. When you are on a blog you click the follow blog link to follow and you click that same link to un-follow. http://en.support.wordpress.com/following/#unfollowing-a-blog

If you don't want to continue to receive the emails of new posts you click "unsubscribe" link in the email at the bottom. Or you click the Manage Delivery Settings link under Read Blogs to change your default email delivery methods for all the blogs you follow.

http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/delete-follower-unfollow-needs-to-be-two-way-on-wordpress?replies=1#post-781105
So, if you agree that WordPress needs to add an "unfollow" button that allows us to delete unwanted email (or blog) subscribers/followers, please go ahead and support the idea at the link provided above.
Thanks

I don't believe for single moment that Staff sit around and monitor every thread here on these forums to glean feedback. As best as I can tell they do not have idle time on their hands.

This thread is in the Support Forum and I answered the questions being posed correctly.

If the correct answers don't suffice for you then your can express that directly to Staff by using the link provided above. Or alternatively, you can start an Ideas Forum thread (Ideas and suggestions for WP.com)and post your ideas for changes and or improvements in it.

You "full" answer is valid and I read it; it basically states the fact that on "public" blogs one cannot delete followers. What I am hoping for is change.
I am sure, that as a WordPress blogger (who probably has equal rights to express and question like any volunteer) one can express their opinion as a user; one can verily point out an issue that seems to be shared by others.
I think that feedback is exactly what these forums are for (in addition to peer-to-peer support, which I believe should not involve a hierarchy of any sort), and I am positive WordPress staff closely monitor these forums to see what new trends (or issues) are surfacing, so they can improve their interface, their service, and everything in between. I am merely making my voice heard, and I am sorry that a "full" answer won't suffice.

Allow me to be clear about what these forums are all about. This is a peer support forum where Volunteers like myself answer support questions posted by other members. I answered this question fully previously. If you would like to send your personal feedback to Staff they will be available on January 2nd.

I would love to make use of this little opening (that some people may not be RSS educated), and be at least capable of deleting them from my blog's email subscription list. In my part of the world, internet is relatively new, and I might be one of the most developed users. So... to make a long story short, someone like me would realllly benefit from the option of "delete follower."

I don't know how we can petition WordPress on this matter. Hello there, dear WordPress; are you hearing me?

And yes I guess having an unwanted subscriber is like seeing someone two feet outside the restraining zone distance in the court order watching you.

Given the nature of the internet other than having a completely Private blog or no blog at all your options are limited.

Even if a blog is public, one should have control over followers, an option that WordPress need to address. I have been the victim of anti-competitive behavior by a fellow crafter in my own town, and they are now copy-cating my every move, and their latest stunt is to subscribe to my blog so whatever I post next, they are first to know. Can somebody at WordPress please pick up on this issue and help bring it up in their upcoming staff meeting?

No they cannot. All they can do is request that the Admin of the blog on which the approved comment appears please delete it for them. And, the Admin is not compelled to honor that request.

I find this rather worrying, what is the point of WordPress offering all these options if it can be over-ridden in such a way?

Now I'm trying to delete some ppl from my blog and I can't seem to find out how...

We cannot block or delete subscribers from public blogs. However, please read this about public blogs that become private blogs > Blog Privacy and Subscribers > http://wpcommaven.wordpress.com/2011/09/05/blog-privacy-and-subscribers/

Note that you have complete control comment moderation. http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/#comment-moderation If your blog is public others can, of course, read it. They can submit comments but you can Moderate all comments and choose which ones to approve or not.

For trolls, you can "blacklist" them at Settings > Discussion toward the bottom of that page. Enter their email address, their username, and if they included it, their website. That will automatically send them to moderation so that their comments do not appear on the blog. Do note though that if they are determined, they can use a different email address or username to get around that. Also, do not put their IP address in the blacklist. IP addresses are no longer unique, and you might end up blocking legitimate visitors. Also, all they would have to do is go to a wi-fi hot spot, or connect via a different ISP and they could get around that.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/#comment-blacklist

One other thing I would suggest is to set your blog so that first time commenters are held in moderation till approved, then from that point forward they will not need approval. Settings > Discussion. The next step on that of course is to set it so that all comments are held in moderation until approved. That way you are in control, and they might just get tired and go elsewhere after a while.
