Damn bots..
20 08 06 - 10:23 First of all, a slight annoyance. Linked my blog in a forum, and Googlebot has now crawled it (that's not such a bad thing), and has crawled all the rating links too - that's why all my posts seem to be rated at around 3. Archive.org has also joined in the fun.For example:
crawling021.us.archive.org - - [19/Aug/2006:20:19:02 +0930> "GET /blog/rate_cgi.php?y=06&m=07&entry=entry060711-203945&rating=3 HTTP/1.0" 302 0 "http://gm.stackunderflow.com/blog/" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible;archive.org_bot/heritrix-1.9.0-200608171144 +http://pandora.nla.gov.au/crawl.html)"
So, I've added a robots.txt to block this.
