Partially, but not completely. It is harder for bots to continually cause trouble, but still plenty of room for improvement. When I spend more time working on GC projects again I'll button things down even more with regards to bot mitigation.
Sort of. We always have bots on GC. Some aren't programmed well, though, maybe due to software bugs, and they go a bit haywire while scraping or spidering sites. We're not blocking all bots but when they start causing problems I now at least have some ways of dealing with it. Imperfect solution that will be improved in the future.
Not sure yet but I've been thinking about spending more time in May and/or June on GC projects again, maybe improving bot mitigation will be included if I do that. |
They seemed to be gone or not as active for a while. Like, when you made those changes last summer, that seemed to work well.
