    Does anyone know what "robots" refers to? Cause I'm pretty sure boting is bannable.

    Actually, spam bots on the forums have what appears to be a name, but is not.
    It's two possible names, with a space.
    Such as: posque daniel
    Bots, however, are just companies and such.
    None of the current new members are spam bots.

    Yes, exactly. They are web-bots, spiders, crawlers, screen-scrapers, etc from various search engines that are systematically "crawling" this site to add content to their search engines. There aren't any hard and fast rules for these bots to follow, but for the sake of the major search engines they try to honor robots.txt and clearly identify themselves to prevent site from banning them or taking counter measures.
