Bug or not a bug... but will the issue with search engines like:
"Yahoo! Slurp search engine"... be resolved? ... or are they not overloading the forum?
In general, I read something about them on other forums; maybe our administration will do something about it?
Here are some links that might be useful:

P.S. By the way, here here (if I'm not mistaken) is a search engine that posts messages on the forum... and 99% of them are nonsense...
It is registered on our forum :)
Let's start with the fact that it is difficult to prevent a search engine from accessing a website/forum, since it is no different from a regular person, except that the latter does not "click" on all the links.
The search engine certainly loads the forum, but within the rules that apply to each user.
That is, each machine = 1 person on the forum.
This is not so critical.
On the other hand, as indicated in the links above, it supposedly creates private messages... This is impossible for 2 reasons:
1) Unregistered users are not allowed to create messages, either private or any other.
2) We have good protection against bot registrations.
3) The administration is always on guard =)
I don't think there is any reason to worry about this =)
