XF 2.1 Guests are actually web crawlers/robots

[Glen Anderson]

Is Xenforo going to update the list of who is a robot visitor? My website says I have 61 guests and they are all just crawling for search engines or whatever, and only 10 robots are identified correctly.

I can highly recommend this addon by @Sim

Known Bots

This XenForo 2.x addon adds additional definitions for bot detection in sessions. This allows more accurate indication of the number of users vs robots online at any given time. Requirements This addon requires PHP 7.0.0 or higher and works on...

That has nothing to do with what the OP asked.

Thank you Andy, you make useful addons, but I was not trying to disable bots, just trying to get them correctly recognized by Xenforo.

Yes I look at my Guests (say 40) and think wow, that may be 40 new members.
But now that I have learned how to, I look at them and half of them are bots (ahrefs and semrush)
(Look at their IP adress to the right and click on it)

Yes I was going to pm Andy
His Robots add-on is marvelous for blocking Robots (I just bought it)

I wonder if XF can fix it (or will fix it) in a new update.

Or can we get Andy to make a similar add-on to Robots, but for Guests.
