None, unless webmasters like the product.

Not really.
Just to be sure everyone understands… weblogs are typically public writings of people. Stats are typically non-public, but not always. Stats programs process server logs.
For a weblog, you can turn off public comments, authorize users, preview comments, or use captchas.
For referral spam in your stats packages, there are usually ways to filter out repeat offenders. It depends on your stats package.
