Bot filters?

McSkluvin

I like robots, but not on Totse......

I guess it might filter some if we had that, but someone could always register bots manually and then let them freely roam afterward.

But it could help......

Wouldn't this filter out google bots that help our web ranking though?

Add exceptions?

If that can be done then this sounds like a good idea to me.

Normal bots can't really register on Totse, they have to be registered manually. Plus, we have active mods and global mods. We lowered our registeration process so users can register with ease.

Then block all IP's that are obvious bots/bot sources, except for google ones? :S

I tried that one bot and it failed epically . I will just increase the number of mods and clean up crew. We already have moderation review taking in place, expect new mods

Cool, but maybe another solution that goes with having more moderators is to sort of, bat away the bots to another web site of some sorts.......

LET THE BOTS ROAM FREE!!!!!

Maybe they just want to be like us.
