   Harassment
   Hi, I have one person who seems without a life who is harassing me non stop on social media networks and now here. There are several nasty comments submitted that I didn't approve or delete and I woke up today to a hacking notice/password change.

   I need this person's IP address and since he's only doing this through here an social media, I don't have access to it. Whenever I block him on Twitter, he just starts up another profile. 7 so far in the last 3 days.

   I'd also like him banned. But no info comes with the comments.
   What can I do about it?
   Thank you.

   The blog I need help with is aprilhunterblog.com.

   WordPress will not give out that kind of information without a court order, so get one.

   I want his ip BLOCKED from my page. There doesn't seem to be a way to do that, like there is on other pages, like twitter and facebook. Unless I'm missing something?
   And this just started the other day. I don't yet have a court order. I just want him to fuck off and leave me alone and NOT be able to read anything I post.

   Simple, no?

   There is no way to do that on a public blog. PS whatever Facebook and Twitter say, there is no way to do that there. I routinely read the tweets of people who've blocked me.

   You can change your blog visibility to "private". http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

   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/

   Also note there is no upgrade you can purchase that changes what I stated above.

   I need this person's IP address ...

   Thank you.
   If I make it private, then that kills traffic, I'd imagine.
   Thank you for you time and responses/suggestions.
