  I accidentally marked a referrer as spam and then navigated away. Can a team member please help me undo that? Thanks.

  Hi there,

  You can click the Not Spam link that appears where the Spam link was previously if you haven’t navigated away from the page since you marked it as spam. However, once you have navigated away from the stats page, you will not be able to undo the action.

  Note that if you mistakenly mark a site as spam, this will not affect your stats; it will only keep that referrer from appearing on your stats page.

  I am tagging this question with the modlook tag on the Tags section of the sidebar for staff advice on the same.

  Read about the modlook tag here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question

  Hi mommyhive,

  Yes, I’ve read that section already. I’ve also noticed in the forums that if you ask nicely, a staff member will undo it for you on their end, and that’s what I’m hoping for.

  Thank you for helping with the #modlook tag!

  Hi there,

  I see two spam referrers on your site, thelma.blog1989.com and genealogyjamboree.com. Do you want to unspam both, or only one?

  Hi kokkieh,

  Unspam just the second one please. The thelma.blog1989 one is definitely spam, genealogyjamboree is most decidedly not spam.

  Thank you!

  Okay. I’ve unblocked genealogyjamboree.com, so they’ll start showing in your referrer stats again.

  Hi, Kokkieh!

  Can you please help me with unblocking two of my referrers that I marked as spam while fiddling with my stats?

  One is Instagram and the is StumbleUpon. My site is WebsiteContentWriters.org – it is hosted on WordPress.com.

  I would truly appreciate it, thank you!
