Killing Live.com Bot
I've had it. The live.com spambot, aka msnbot, is officially not welcome either here or at Social Alerter. Why? The bot is still referral spamming. How much? 100% of my live.com referrals at Social Alerter are actually the bot's spam. Granted the absolute number of hits is only in the low tens, but it is not right and such behavior is no longer welcome. And no, the constant lies that this behavior has stopped do not help.

Bye, bye. I hope to see you never.
