We have a persistent problem with bots on our forum. MASSIVE distributed crawls that appear as legitimate requests (spoofed user agents etc.). Anyways, we've not been able to migrate our site to CloudFlare yet for unrelated reasons. In the mean-time, it may help to reduce the number of pages that are accessible to an anonymous user. Is there a way to allow only logged in users to view older threads. Or - is there any kind of rate limiting feature? Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Andrew
