That looks a lot like a false positive, but I can't identify the phone it comes from.
 
Hello Mr. Add-on Developer,

One quick question, i don't know if this works with your add-on but I'm open to suggestion to a new problem and this is going to affect all of us.

There is a new type of malicious attack that use bots to click on Ads, dropping the revenue specially on AdSense and consequentially, the flags from Google become a default until they remove all the Ads from the site because of this malicious and criminal activity.

So, as a suggestion, if this add-on doesn't permit that, that we don't show Ads to some usergroup, like "Bots Group" or some kind of solution.

There is my tip for all forum administrators. They gonna catch you, sooner or later. Be careful my admin friends. Forums are a great "enemy" to mainstream ways of communication and is not a conspiracy.

I doubt this addon would be that useful.

A malicious bot is unlikely to use a readily identifiable user agent so we wouldn't know they are a bot anyway.

You'd need to do a much lower level analysis of behaviour (speed of activity, changing IP addresses, using cookies, etc) to accurately detect a malicious bot and try and block it.
