    How do I block referral spam. I see a lot of his in my awstats from adult websites that are referral spam.
    some of them are hitting my server quite hard

    whats the point of this kind of spam anyways? its not like I am going to click it or that my stats were accessible.

    If you are on an Apache server you can block via your .htaccess. There are some tutorials around. It is quite maddening.
