Spam Hover?
-
Someone want to tell me why I can’t seem to get the “spam hover” to enable for referrers? I keep trying to figure out how that particular function works but can’t find it, get it, make it work at all. I’d really like to kill off the semalt and duck duck go crawlers from my stats… but either I’m doing something wrong or that function isn’t really working like it’s been indicated…

I haven’t clue in the world why anyone would consider duck duck go which is a search engine to be a spam referrer. I am happy that my posts are found when using it. Setting that aside, if any link is not detectible or is not active when you click on it then you have a browser related issue.

Uh, never mind… If you’re simply going to point me to a browser link – and do the same thing twice? I’ll look for answers on my own…
