Update robots.txt to disallow bots - #430

There was a problem hiding this comment.
We intentionally want to allow well-behaved search engines like Google/Bing/etc.
Blocking all search engines isn't needed or watned.
Re-reading this a bit, I'm not sure it's useful to explicitly list UAs like this. Any non-compliant scrape is not going to respect the robots.txt anyway. I think we should stick to a single UA policy.
I don't know if all special should be blocked, does that block search, and I'm not sure about the prefix syntax nor if most parsers respect the one. |
Currently the robots.txt only blocks scraping and indexing of our 86 page.
This PR blocks all user agents by default
But still allows some user agents, namely search engines and users of AI to still search the website
But this still limits their access to our 86 page
