  I and others are getting ranksonic.info/krawler.php spam referrers. How do we stop that? We have marked it as spam more than once.

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

  I have followed the procedure below as found in http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/#marking-spam-referrers. It does not remove the spam referrer ranksonic.info.

  “To mark them as spam, navigate to your “Referrers” section.
  Each entry has a clickable ellipse next to the view count. (This works for all but a few whitelisted referrers, such as WordPress.com.)
  When you click the ellipse, a red “Spam?” flag will appear. When you click the flag, the referrer link will go into your personal spam referrer block list and won’t show up in the future.”

  Anyone else have the same problem?

  Added: When I go to the latest Stats page update , it does seem to work. We shall see.
