[How To?] Deactivate spiders in Who's online

[alv4]

Is possible to deactivate it?

Yes, delete them from Spiders / Bots.

If you don't want them on your site at all, delete them from Spiders / Bots and block their IP.

Yeah the spiders in that list are pretty much only used on the WOL; if there's no name for them they'd just appear as guests.

Thanks

No no no no!
You do this, your site dies.

No, some sites do not want to be in search engines.

I have a forum that is referal only, so you have to be invited to join. I have blocked search engines from indexing it.

If I delete it and NOT block the IP the site still be appearing in the Search engines... No?

Deleting it from the ACP will simply mean it won't show up as a search engine when it visits, nothing more.
