  Since the introduction of the new spam filter in the referrer, I now can’t link to the referee. Does this feature work on an iPad? When I click on the referrer it doesn’t do anything. I can’t remove the spam? question.

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

  We aren’t removing spam by clicking that button we are simply suppressing the display of such links in our stats.

  But these links in my referrer aren’t spam and when I click on it, I can’t seem to get past the spam question. There seems to be no option where I can say no this isn’t spam. Unless I’m not doing something properly.

  I have my own answer. I logged on via a PC instead of an iPad and found how this feature is meant to work it does not work on an iPad.
  And while testing the feature, I made a mistake and spammed one of my biggest referrers. Bother.
  But thank you timethief for your reply.
