Aggressive Chinese Search Engines

I've just taken the rather extreme measure of banning two complete IP ranges belonging to the notorious Chinese search engine 'Baidu'.

:banned:

It was indexing the site pretty much 24/7 from 20 or 30 different IP addresses concurrently and sucking up our bandwidth and had ignored 'polite' methods of requesting it to stop (robots.txt). At any moment in time about 30 of the 'guests' online were in fact this search engine. :mad:

So apologies to anyone in China who might not find the site listed on Baidu any more, but the site feels perkier already! :D

Now, now, Malc, there can't be that many of us in this forum.......

It will be nice to hear fellow stalkers from the Chinese extraction on this forum. I doubt there will be many as the Chinese community is not into shooting and hunting, which is a shame that they have missed the all absorbing outdoor activities / hobbies.

I have found this forum fantastic with information and the amount of care and friendships towards each other is evidenced.

Good work to everyone.

Kam,

It takes a great deal of my time, not to mention csl and JAYB to keep this site clean and running. What we dont want it time wasters, trolls and trouble makers. If anyone from China is interested in hunting/stalking they are most welcome, if they are spammers and idiots, this is not the place to be.

Hi Malc,

I do appreciate the hard work that the SD staff has put in to make the site running so smoothly.

When I mentioned 'Chinese community', I meant those Chinese stalkers from within the UK, which can't be that many.

After living in this country for over 42 years; so almost a 'Geordie', I heard all the jokes about the Chinese..... hence I butted in....

Regards.
Kam
