removing direct hits from stats based on IP address?

My b2evolution Version: 1.10.2

Hi, I poked around a bit and haven't found a good solution for this problem.

In my "direct hits" in the backoffice, I frequently get a bunch of hits in quick succession from a specific IP address (38.144.36.19)... must be a crawler or bot or whatever. However, I haven't been able to successfully add anything to the conf/_stats.php lists to remove these hits from my direct stats (I have to manually remove them from the database).

It would seem that I should be able to enter in the IP address in the antispam function, but it only shows no hits in the logs for that address. What might I be missing here? thanks, Joe

Since the bot isn't posting to your blog, it will not be banned by the blacklist. You can block a sigle IP through the .htaccess file. This is the code:

order allow,deny
deny from 38.144.36.19
allow from all

Some more information about .htaccess is [url=http://forums.b2evolution.net/viewtopic.php?t=3764]provide by whoo[/url] and [url=http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/htaccess.html]this external site recommended by whoo[/url] and Google.

Good luck
