Giving bots there own usergroup?

Thanks

This is cloaking and will get you banned from the SERPs.

DO NOT do this.

Okay.. hmmm next question:

What about the 'Limited Guest Viewing' mod from the .org?

It blocks your forum after e.g. 10 pageviews from visitors. It's done with a cookie. SE's are not working with cookies so they can spider the whole forum without limitations.

Is that also cloaking?
