Spiders own usergroup?

[bashy]

Hi peeps

Is it possible to give spiders thier own usergroup..
If not would it be possible to give them 1 colour for all spiders?
I would just like to highlight them more! :)

Actually, yes :)
Their is a hack that makes the spiders a "registered" account. Get that, then set those specific users (Spiders) into a custom usergroup of which highlights the name of the search engine spider :)

Hi

I already have this hack installed...
Its the 1 that makes the spiders a member so to speak.
but they still show as guests, all it does is give them
permission to go where registered memebrs can go...

I want sommat where i can change the colour of the spiders?

That's a good idea. That way spiders will index things that the average member can't see, so when people find it from a search engine, they will hopefully sign up. I can see this being useful. I doubt it's difficult to code either.
