Basically it gets annoying when you get one person liking every single photo you uploaded. For example I uploaded some Kingsleys photos and one person has liked every single one of them.
So I've ended up blocking the following person on Flickr for favourite abuse. Everytime I end up blocking someone, they will be added to my first (this) post.
Blocked on Flickr for Favourite Abuse

Ok I know my photos aren't the easiest to steal due to the watermarking but I guess that might be down to paranoia that I'm wary of people with no photos of their own. In addition to this, I also block Alician Reiley or something. He's from down south and has been known to steal photos, and recently had a court issue ordered placed against him for non bus reasons.

I prefer to take my photos in scenic places so I don't get as much photos in a day as the cling on corner squad but I still get a few.
It's a great way to spend time

]few of someone's uploads, though I just do it because I know who they are or there spammed me first, I never intend to do it for likes back, I just do it because I know the person.
I'm sorry if I've annoyed anyone.
