HOW they're able to do this, I don't know, but I happened to be online the same time as they were doing this and have it in my "recent visitors" log on my webhost. These crawlers also tried to "comment" but of course wouldn't let them since they're not a member.
I think it should be set, like with the comments, that one must be a member in order to use this function.
To circumvent this problem in the mean time, I set 'robots.txt' so that these bots can't visit the /view/ folder, which kinda sux cos I want them to be able to visit and list videos in their engines...but this posting of "feature this" and "inappropriate" is getting out of hand.
Most simple solution I can think of is that the RATE, FLAG & COMMENT should require one to be signed in to be able to use them.
Anyone got a code we can stick in there so that it works this way?
