    I there a way to remove followers? There are a few people following me that I've either asked not to because I don't know them well enough, and others I'd just rather not be in contact with. So how do I remove them?

    There's no way to specifically remove people, but you can set things up so that only the people you follow can follow you. Go to your privacy settings, in the Receive your News Feed box change it to People you follow only.

    I don't suppose there's a way to merge Followers and Following into one friend / contact list where you can remove users you don't want to be in contact anymore with?

    There is an installable friends option but it does not replace the following system, nor does it affect privacy settings at all.

    Oh, cool.

    Hm. If it doesn't replace the following system, can the following system be disabled?

    Of course this isn't vBulletin, but on vBulletin, I know several profile elements, such as groups, albums, friends, etc. can be disabled.

    You'd lose features like privacy settings and news feeds by disabling the following system; as I said, the friends system does not replace it.

    Got it. :)

    Would it be possible to add that alongside the following system, then?

    Yes but I don't really see a point, it seems redundant and unnecessary. If it's expanded to include more options (privacy and news feed and so on) we can look into it but right now there's no real need.

    OK, Misty.

    Hopefully it's expanded upon in the future. c:
