Finlay, that be cool to have a filter! Glad it's working out; at least there's something to do until it's fixed for real. I'm still checking my followers regularly because it seems that the unsavory ones are added to my follow list with no notification.
Suttygal, I set mine back to public and the people I removed are still gone. I switch it back briefly when I see others I want to remove, then back to public. – Lynne Hoenig, on June 28, 2009 21:34

Hey, I found a way to remove unwanted followers! If you go to your settings and change your updates to private, when you bring up your list of followers there's a "remove" tab next to each one, including the ones you blocked recently. Click "remove" and they're gone! If you don't want your updates to be private, just change it back and the removed followers will still be gone. It takes a little more effort than before, but until the bug is fixed, there's a way to get them off your list.
