The Yandex Russian crawler is trying to crawl me like this...

https://vbulletin.org/forum/index.php/read/72116

Vbulletin.org is showing the same effect as does my board.

The full URL looks like this...

https://vbulletin.org/forum/index.ph...ve/archive/arc

Code:

https://vbulletin.org/forum/index.php/read/72116&expand/archive/chat/chat/chat/chat/chat/archive/archive/chat/chat/archive/chat/chat/archive/archive/archive/archive/archive/archive/archive/archive/archive/archive/archive/archive/archive/archive/archive/archive/archive/arc

Any clue about what they are attempting to accomplish?

Any way to halt this behavior?
