No way to undo spam selection?

    Looking through my stats, I clicked on a referrer, and this popped up:

    Not knowing what it was (If it had said “Mark as spam” I would have known) I clicked on it. Now from the help, I’ve learned:

    “However, once you have navigated away from the stats page, you will not be able to undo the action later.”

    I haven’t yet navigated away from the stats page, but I see no way to undo that. It had been for Twitter, and I want to see referrers from that site.

    Anything I can do?

    Hi there.

    I can see that you’re also chatting with my colleague, David, about this via email. :) Just to reiterate what his comments: There’s isn’t a way for you to unblock spam referrers but we can remove blocks upon request. If there’s a link that you accidentally blocked then just let us know.

    Thanks, S.

    Yes, David straightened me out. I’d gotten confused about exactly what I’d done, and the lack of an ellipsis menu next to Twitter made me think I’d blocked it. David explained that Twitter is on a permanent whitelist.

    I would suggest that someone consider changing the menu selection “Spam” to “Mark as Spam.” The way it is, it could be interpreted as “See spam referrals” or some such.

    Thanks for the help.
