Ban the Bing [Bot]?

[jingofever]

I don't like it.

[Stephen Morgan]

That would be anti-competitive behaviour.

Does it do anything bad?

Besides logging the site for Bing searches? Are we assuming that anyone who uses Bing is a tool we don't want here?

I say bought the ban bing. Immediately.

I was merely in the mood for mob justice and Bing [Bot] was the first robot I saw.

the bingbot actually is disabled both within phpBBs bot management system and in our robots.txt file.

It WAS eating way to much bandwidth. There's another content scrapper in Ukrane I'm pissed at. Been limiting such stuff and have us denying clients based on realtime blacklists of kown malware ips now.
