no.. we've tried several different methods for getting rid of the bots... unfortunately, you can only avoid them for so long before they come back.

I just add their IPs to our ban list... and we'll be good for a couple weeks until a new batch of bots come in.

Not sure how we got posted on spam bot lists, but we get automated ones and human-bot-farm ones as well, so there's no easy way to avoid them.
