  Since three days now I can’t follow any other users or blogs.

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

  Hi there,

  That might have happened because you’ve followed too many blogs in a short period of time, and the system has flagged you. I have tagged this for Staff assistance.

  Hi thebooksandbeaches,

  The follow feature is intended for following posts on a reasonable number of sites — not for showing approval, promotion of your sites or anything on that scale.

  With the number of sites you were following, your Reader stopped functioning properly. To prevent any further issues, the follow feature has been disabled for your account.

  Come back to me if you have any questions.

  So I will never be able to follow new users?

  Hi thebooksandbeaches,

  I’ve been able to remove the block from your account. However, continuing to follow blogs as you have been will trigger another block on our system. If it happens again, we may not be able to remove the block.
