By the way, an important note from their own site: they do not observe "robots.txt".
Why not just deny the the UA?
In fact, that's already done. Moreover, I have it write to a specific flagging file, so I'll be immediately aware if they activate any future CIDR's.
However, it seems reasonable to me that, given enough publicity (or just as a matter of good g/p), they'll change the user agent.
These CIDR's should also be placed on a watchlist (for those who keep them), if/when spam begins to originate from them.
If firewalled, rather than receiving a user-agent block/ed message, this would interfere with any statistical/diagnostic algorhythym that the spammer/scraper would have for future applications of this process, if enough large providers would also do so.
Since this posting will eventually be crawled by search engines, it's inforamtion will, eventually, make it to other locations, i.e. blogs of the same purpose. With enough repitition of this information, it could only serve to add pressure upon the carriers (theplanet/ev1 and softlayertech, in these cases) to look more carefully at existing customers already in violations of their respective TOS's.

Your dreaming!
Most interent providers and/or hosts have firm UAG's in place which were intended to limit the activities of their customers.
Requesting a provider and/or hosts to apply a violation of UAG is a waste of time.
A providers deepest regard is merely that their customers bandwidth increases ;)
BTW, there are numerous threads on thePlanet and more than a few on softtlayer and even many on Everyones Net. Many webmasters have these ranges either denied entirely or denied with further restrictions.
Welcome to Webmaster World.
"Welcome" doesn't seem to be the appropo word.

Because I provided some facts!

The only inaccuracy:

which I percieved to be:

The other lines I replied with are acccurate, although some do have success in rare occassions with providers.
BTW, this is not my website nor am I the moderator of this forum, rather a participant, like yourself.
If you choose to not accept my welcome under the custom of this forum?
Then a good day to you and a KMA.
