Then you are blocking a huge amount of valid users. Almost all browsers can turn off referrers nowadays, plus the list I gave in one of my posts above.

Except most users don't know what a referrer is and barely understand a COOKIE. The mass populations often doesn't even know what an Internet Explorer or a Firefox is and thinks their Google start page is the internet.

I've been blocking images for blank referrers for many years without any complaints.
