Potbot not respecting robots.txt

[Scooter24]

Maybe somebody is interested in this:

I had a visit by Potbot 1.0 (IP: 216.40.238.201). It read the robots.txt file and then proceeded to browse through directories which were disallowed (automatically getting banned in the process).

We had a discussion on potbot earlier.

little guy must be in full server abuse mode.

I know, but so far nobody has reported abuses by potbot (which is why I made this post)
