I've read through the Forums and it looks like I'll be able to get rid of my referer spammers through the .htaccess route. Pain in the neck but I'll give it a go. I thought I would share my list of referer #@#$@% spammers as a heads up for some of you:

I won't give them the luxury of even getting a hyperlink. Damn spammers.
If that's all you've been hit with, then consider yourself very lucky. And don't count on your luck to last. Your best bet is to keep your blacklist up to date with the central one. If you do want to make .htaccess rules, then you can use the blacklist as a source.
