XF 1.5 How do I get rid of the bots?

[Shattered]

HOW?

You can implement ip bans at the server level if you want to block them from the site completely.

Use a service like bad behavior or similar. This identifies bots and then blocks their requests. Had a dramatic effect on performance of my big board. And reduced bandwidth too.

I suggest the Robots v1.5 add-on located here:
