  Marking spam referrers as spam referrers simply removes the reporting from your stats. It does not block them. See here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/spam-referrer-reporting?replies=3
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/#referrers
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/#marking-spam-referrers

  Read: https://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/#marking-spam-referrers

  If you change your mind right away, you can click the “Undo” link that appears where the Spam? link was previously. However, once you have navigated away from the stats page, you will not be able to undo the action later.

  Hi there,

  I’ve un-spammed Instagram for you, so you’ll see those referrals in your stats again now.

  I’m having the same problem! Accidentally marked huffingtonpostUK as spam and it’s definitely not… There was no option to undo as I did it from my phone. Can you help? My site is http://www.whatapieceofcake.com

  Thanks :)

  Hello @kokkieh, I just landed on this topic looking for a solution for the same issue. I accidentally marked Linkedin as spam and to my own shock & horror I can’t see a way to undo it :-/ I’ve searched for answers on several threads… Do you have the magical tool to undo it? I’d be grateful if you can help. Thanks :-)
