xwiki.com stats deactivated

Hi, We got a new load of spam related hammering on xwiki.com. It is more and more horrible and creates more and more unuseful load on xwiki.com. Spam robots have included creation of XWiki accounts and use of these accounts to publish spam data in the wiki pages. I've had to deactivate statistics since each spam-related request that cannot be catched by mod_security creates load on the database for these statistics. The only way to get statistics back will be to use Javascripts which triggers a statistics storage request in the database (which would be ignored by spam robots and search engines), or to wait until we can read Google Analytics or another external statistics engine and redisplay it on xwiki.com. In the future we will propose a tutorial to activate Google Analytics on your wikis. If you know how to do it you should include this on your wiki pages to get statistics for your wiki. I'm getting more and more worried about these spam robots and would welcome any help and ideas on how to handle this to make xwiki.com a viable platform for hosted public wikis.
