I have Search Engines as a member group and given them certain permissions, somewhere between Guests and Members.
Most bots turn up in this group as if by magic, obviously something SMF do behind the scene. How often is this updated?
I ask because when I check guests ip's, I sometimes find genuine bots, and add them manually to the search engine group.
Mainly because I have given them more permissions than they would otherwise have as a guest.
Am I wasting my time?, Should I just be patient and wait for the data to update?
Thanks
Pete
