  Hi katelynepage,

  According to: 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.

  Can someone from support undo it for me?

  I just added the ‘modlook’ tag so that Staff will take a look.

  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

  What is the URL of the site you want Staff to unspam for you please?

  Hi Katelyn,

  What referrer did you block as spam? I can check to see if we can unblock it for you.

  Hi Katelyn,

  Ok, all done! I unblocked that referrer so you’ll see it in your referrer stats again. :)
