  Hey there,

  Unfortunately, it does not look like you can undo the action unless it’s immediately after the initial act of marking as spam. However, your spam marking may not be as bad as it first seems.

  As you can read here,
  https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/spam-referrer-reporting?replies=3,
  some information posted by Happiness Engineer, jackiedana, points out that this action really only removes the referrer from showing up in your stats and does not block them from viewing your site.

  I hope that the info provided in that link will offer you some peace of mind.
  Take care :)

  Hi crumbledwordss,

  I’ve removed ask.fm from your spam referrals list, I hope this helps!

  You’re welcome! As @tophatt29 mentioned, it’s possible to undo this action straight away but once you have navigated away from the page it’s something we will need to help you with :)
