voilabot beta 1.2

need to ban, but don't see reques for robots.txt

Ok, this bot is truly stupid. It is asking for things that aren't even on my site! I don't seeing grabbing my robots.txt file, but would this be right? Here is the referring url that it has when it generates 404.

If it's not asking for robots.txt, then you'll need to ban it via .htaccess instead.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} VoilaBot
RewriteRule .* - [F]

Would not recommend banning Voila to people interested in French traffic.

I noticed that misbehaviour in May (see 1897 [webmasterworld.com]).

Too bad they didn't get over the beta stage in more than half a year:
