I converted my website to B2 EVO www.stmedia.org

I dont use trackbacks, pingbacks, or collect stats. A visitor got the following message.

403 Forbidden
Please stop referer spam.

We have identified that you have been refered here by a known or supposed spammer.

If you feel this is an error, please bypass this message and leave us a comment about the error. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

If you are actually doing referer spam, please note that this website/b2evolution no longer records and publishes referers. Not even legitimate ones! While we understand it was fun for you guys while it lasted, please understand our servers cannot take the load of all this cumulated spam any longer... Thank you.

Also, please note that comment/trackback submitted URLs will be tagged with rel="nofollow" in order to be ignored by search engines.

I can understand why that's there but it's not applicable to the way I use B2. The visitor was genuine BTW. I don't want someone else writing my messages for me. How do I get rid of that and what other changes do I need to make.
