Last night there were two very strange and odd postings on the forum, which I was very pleased to see were not there this morning. They were from a new member. That person has now decided to follow me, and I feel uncomfortable about it, having read his postings last night. Is there any way either myself you a moderator can block him please.

He may have been removed already - and if he's been kicked off the membership, he won't be able to follow you.  Was this the half-wit who asked us to provide him with cocaine?  I hope he's been banned - if he hasn't, and posts again, it will be possible to ban him completely.

I deleted both of his posts, and I did indeed ban him!

Yes Robert, that's the one. I think his post followed mine, so he probably just randomly chose me. His photo is still up on my followers page. I can't seem to remove it.

I don’t think you can remove them, but he won’t receive notifications of your new postings, because I’ve banned him. Followers can’t get access to any of your personal information, so I wouldn’t worry about it. Alternatively, contact the admin@ address I gave you, they should be able to help!

Thanks Alan. I just needed reassurance that he couldn't contact me in any way.  I won't worry about him now.
