What i will say is if you are NOT using Paul Ms "Who has visited" mod and you are still seeing any of the bots on your list appear in WOL then you need to check that spiders UserAgent to see if the name or text you have in your list actually appears in the UA.

I have implemented your list.

In regards to your comment about "my list".... I have no idea to be honest.

Those I put in there based on what I was seeing in my WOL and putting things in there to try and block them.

I am sure I was way off base and incorrect in doing so.

So.... in light of this... if you want to provide a "proper" list... I am happy to take your guidance.

I don't know the first thing about any of this stuff and am looking to experts like yourself to assist.
