Spam Referrer Correction

  • Unknown's avatar

    Only a small thing, but I accidentally marked a few of my blogs most active referrers as spam and now cannot see how many clicks they are providing.

    This was before I actually noticed the new system in place, as I just click on them to see what clicks they had provided for that day and must have click spam by accident.

    I know this doesn’t alter the clicks coming to my blog, but I appreciate knowing how many clicks sites are providing us and it helps determine where we advertise our posts.

    Is there a way to undo this accidental mis-click on my part? Or will they now be forever un-viewable.

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

    There is an “undo” button that is available for a short while after you’ve marked something as spam, but if you’ve left the stats page, it may be too late. Please head back there and see if it is before I mark this for staff assistance.

    I know of that button now, but this was perhaps last week when I never noticed the new system in place.

    I appreciate the new system, but having access to undoing these adjustments (for morons like me) would be helpful.

    If you don’t undo the action right away, it’s permanent. Keep in mind though that the referrers aren’t blocked and your actual site visits won’t be affected; the action simply removes the referrer from the display.

    We are looking at further enhancing the referrer displays in the future, however, and may have a way to unblock them sometime down the road.

    Thanks for letting me know. Yeah I personally liked to be able to see where the clicks were coming from, but yeah since I didn’t know this new feature was implemented I didn’t think to undo it when I was viewing them.
