If the bot has not been added to the bot list it is certainly an issue but problems being encountered by most are from unnamed bots. They are just using a browsers user agent so there is not much you can do within phpBB to fix the issue.
That’s what I’ve started since some months ago to hate the most when it comes to bots. Imho every bot/crawler should have an user agent defined like Google bot for example.
Blocking unnamed/without UA is tricky and hard to pull off. :roll:
