There are two ways to doing this, I recommend the first way.
Suggestion # 1
1. Create a group called bot
2. Give it access to whatever you want the bots to be able to access. Remember to uncheck view user profiles.
3. Go to configuration>spiders/crawlers
4. Edit each one of them and put them into the bots group.
Result: They would have a special group, so they won't be treated as guests anymore. You can now control what bots can see on your forum.
Suggestion # 2
You would have to add a rule in your .htaccess
For that, could you post your .htaccess file here?
Also, in order to view the .htaccess, you need to check "Show dot/hidden files" when accessing File Manager via Cpanel.
