I get this message for some reason when I try to follow bloggers. How do I fix this? I think I got caught in the spam category, but I literally only followed like 10-20 blogs dealing with book reviews. :(

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I do understand that 20 is a lot, but darn… I just wanted to follow book reviewers…

Hi releasethesouls

Yes if you follow so many blogs in a short span of time then you are identified as spammer.

So tagging this post as ‘modlook’ for WordPress staff assistance. Please wait for some time Staff will get back to you on this.

Good Morning –

You should be able to continue following through Reader. Have you tried to sign out then back in to your account? It might help to clear your browser cache as well.

Hello again lizkarkoski – It’s working again now! Thanks so much!

So if I follow too many in a short time frame it thinks I’m a spammer, correct?

Is there a limit to how many I can follow?

That’s right. My advice is to follow what is to follow what you could reasonably keep up with.
