Yup! No Referrer, no access! Wrong referrer, still no access. Spoof it
properly or forget it. Along with other checks &k balances along the way
of course.

That sounds like a bunch of bologna unless you can cite something
verifiable to support it.
I have never, in over a decade, seen Referrer ever block anyone and
I receive host reports of every single contact attempt on my site,
successful or not. Daily.
The only reason I don't have anything more cohesive to support my
claim is that I lost a lot of memory due to a serious brain concussion a
few years back, necessitating re-learing a LOT of things, but I still
have all my records in archive.
Every contact is and was evaluated to see if I care why a contact
attempt failed. Being so near a college town, there are a lot of
abandoned and unsuccessful access attempts. So far none have succeeded
although it's been a long trip getting my knowledge back!

So if you can, please cite something to support your claim that it keeps
out more valid users than bots & hackers & crackers.
