[geeklog-devtalk] Re: Nameprotect bot (Dirk Haun)

[Arnold Bishkoff]

Name protect bot violates your robots.txt files. I suggest, if you can, 
firewalling them out, as they will consume large amounts of bandwidth

if you run apache you can also set enviroment varables to deny them access 
or point them back to themself if you have mod_rewrite.
