I added "Majestics MJ12bot Spider" to the list some time ago but for some reason he keeps coming back and I can see he is viewing threads.
I added them as "majestics" and "Majestics MJ12bot Spider" When they are on the list are they not banned and redirected automatically?

Not all Bots will adhere to or obey the text file. If anything it will provide them with more information than you want them to have.
Only a minority of spiders adhere to those rules.

What you need to do is check their UA when they are online, the chances are that what you've entered in the list is NOT in their UA that's why they still get through :*

Correct, apologies, but I wanted to remove it quickly, since users were complaining.
Well, after I install it, and I start getting emails from the hack, the normal layout of the page is messed up, and the site is shown in a very strange way, you could say that no formatting is done in the page, only characters shown. I tried it twice and I had two friends email me saying that the layout was messed up. I checked and sure enough it was. I'll reinstall this and see if I can grab a shot of before and after.

Yeah that is strange, I have not seen issues like that. Perhaps if it does it again, instead of un installing, just disable it, incase someone needs to debug it on your site.

Reinstalled it and waiting.
One strange thing is that some of the emails take way too long to be sent. I just received an email which was sent about 70 minutes ago. Is that normal?
