Hello. I am curious of these BOTS that are showing as a registered user.
I would prefer BOTS did not access forums that are only meant for registered users. When it says they are logged in as a registered user, does that mean they can access forums or categories that are meant for only registered users with access permissions? If so, how can I make BOTS only see what an average guest would see?
Why do BOTS get to be a registered user? They should have to register like anyone else, lol. I don't mind them visiting and crawling and 'BOTTING' around public areas as a guest, but not as a 'registered user', I would prefer they did not access areas that are meant only for registered users.
Example: Registered Members: Bing [Bot]
I have looked/searched around for further information about this, but found nothing addressing my specific inquiry.
Thank you for any help understanding further about this, or a way to adjust the BOTS as not being a registered user.
