My ISP has banned me because I am overusing the server with the referers feature of b2evolution. Even if I delete the referers list, when I come back 1 minute later, at least 300-400 new visitors (spammers, of course) have come again. I keep up to date the antispam blacklist but it doesn't seem avoid that the spammers come in. How could I deactivate at all the referers feature? I am thinking about deleting the stats table at the database, but I don't know if it will solve the problem.
Thanks in advance.

There are ways to keep spam and excessive CPU and bandwidth usage to a minimum without giving up stats. I find the stats really interesting when there's no spam. Here's a good thread to get started on getting rid of spam:
