Thanks very much.

The automated "like" spam was from lesliecarter.wordpress.com, which redirects to Bucket List Publications. There is a rudimentary blog there, primarily to hype her pretensions to become a travel advisor. I have reported this behavior to staff as a violation of wordpress.com policy.

I tagged this thread to bring the issue to Staff attention.

That doesn't look like a wordpress.com blog though. If it was, it could be reported.

At first I thought it was a genuine like, but when I went to her site, it was clear that she had never read any of my posts. She seems to have a software crawler for wordpress.com that just finds new posts, likes them, and the asks that the blog owner follow her site. Her site turns out to be full of ads and almost no content.

Too bad there wasn't more interest. If we have control over comments, we should have control over likes too, especially since likes can come from outside of the blog itself.

I have asked about moderating "likes",

I started a thread on the Ideas board a while back. It didn't get far.

Some of my readers were upset when I disabled it.

You still get likes from the Reader or the Admin bar, but they are not displayed on the blog, you just get notification. When I learned that, I was pretty upset, because I disabled likes. If disabled in one place, it should be true for all places.

I have a person that is not liking the posts because he likes them he is doing so to promote himself. I would like the ability to have people like my posts that are really interested. Not like every post that is posted to promote themselves. I write a Moms blog for Expat Moms in Italy. I have a man now that has started to like very post that is posted. He is not even in Firenze and his blog has nothing to do with the Moms and would not be an interest to the moms. I would like to be able to stop this without disabling the like button but if I have to I will.
