This is useful as you can specify group settings for a 'bot' group which can restrict access to certain areas, etc. just like Ziki's addon. Please note: you can make a bot group and give bots there own permissions.

Notice that is says "restrict access" not gain access.

Force spider/bot to use skin
Spider Bot User-Agent

Neither of these are a violation of any rule.

well you didnt... ssssniiiip

As you kids like to say, whateverrrrr.

also, sorry Ziki, your thread has been attacked...

BS! An issue has been brought to light. You can delude yourself all you want, but it is still an issue. Your proof is not. Ask IPBoard support whether that feature is designed to give access to Google when it blocks others. It doesn't. You can use it to gain access to restricted areas if you want, but it was NOT designed to violate any Google or other search engine terms of service. I am familiar with the product. I've been managing message boards of all types since 1992.

If you want to continue this discussion further, then honor the mod author by complying with his request. Start a new thread somewhere else about it.
