  I mistakenly marked a legitimate referring links to my blog as spam. I clicked the appearing link “no spam” at once, but this did not work.
  The referrer page is very important (derwildeweg.de) , how can I see it again in the referrer list.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  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

  I tagged this thread for Staff but they have to know what the exact referrer is.

  Thanks Timethief! :)

  Hi derwildeweg:

  As timethief mentioned, I can investigate further once I know the referrer.

  Thanks!

  Thanks:-)

  Hi @derwildeweg,

  We’re in the process of unspamming the referrer! I’ll let you know when this is done.

  Please consider adding to the support doc at https://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/#marking-spam-referrers to add a sentence for those who want Staff to do removals by including include a link to the contact form there.

  @Timethief – We’re currently looking at some improvements to the spam referrers function that could render this unnecessary. I’m going to wait and see how that shakes out first!

  Hi derwildeweg,

  I just unspammed the referrer derwildeweg.de, so you will see that referrer in your stats again. Please let us know if we can do anything more to help. :)
