A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I know this because i wrote a page that IP bans anything that visits it, and l also put it as a not allowed spot in the robots.txt file.

This is fuckin GENIUS

only if you don't want any visits except from yourself, because this removes your site from any search engine

should write a "disallow: /juicy-content" and then block anything that tries to access that page (only bad bots would follow that path)

That's exactly what was described..?

Oops. As a non-native English speaker I misunderstood what he meant. I understood wrongly that he set the server to ban everything that asked for robots.txt

Just in case it makes you feel any better: I'm a native English speaker who always aced the reading comprehension tests back in school, and I read it the exact same way. Lol! I'm glad I wasn't the only one. :)

You need to read again the thing that was described, more carefully. Imagine for example that by “a page,” the person means a page called /juicy-content or something.
