Nevermind. I found the answer myself.

Wavepluz is a spammer, and a crawler/spambot. I searched Google for the entire UA string and got stats files.
Searched for Wavepluz (all results) and found Yahoo Groups pages in Google's cache where people had posted strange spam e-mails they had received. Guess what name appeared in the headers?
Also, there is a blank (almost) website "under heavy construction" for this particular entity.

BTW, the IP in previous post belongs to an Indonesian ISP.

Hey, coyote?

I noticed a couple of other [webmasterworld.com] mis-behaving [webmasterworld.com] bots such as Java/1.x.y [webmasterworld.com] on the boards as usual today.

That left me wondering if it was appropriate to list all the Bad-Bots/Harvestor IPs [webmasterworld.com] in a "Weekly/Daily Bad-Bot" thread, similar to the "Friday Word Game" they run in Foo?

Good idea, pedanticist.
The forum should also be renamed to simply "Spider Identification"

"Spider Identification - Identifying rogue spiders, bots and harvestors"Has a nice ring to it. :)

Spider Identification - Identifying rogue spiders, bots and harvestors"

Sounds goods to me.

The "Creepy Crawler Collection" should be a weekly thread, since a daily one would have only a couple of posts.

Should we come up with an initial format that others may replicate?

Creepy Crawler Collection (weekly date).
This weeks rogue entities are...

Yeah. That looks like a great thread Title.

Looks fine. Just need the thread colors changed to Halloween ones (black and orange with some white) that would fit the mood.
