The others are search engine "bots," but what puzzles me is the math that doesn't add up thereTongue

Because you may have several "guests" with different IPs, but they show up only as "guest"

Okay, but what are search engine bots doing here? I would think they were blocked? I didn't even know what the third one was until I looked it up.

Well, on the one hand it does bring more traffic but, on the other hand, it bring more spammers "our" way too.

I don't think it makes a difference. Search bots always find a way.

Thanks to Feallan, now we have a quite good anti-spam filter - that, of course, will not be perfect, but will prevent a LOT of spammers to sign up... and, we can't live without being indexed by Baidu and Yandex! Wink
