Extra enhancements!
I'm looking for feedback guys!
Would it be beneficial to automatically ban bots that exceed x number of bots at any one time? So, the likes of Baiduspider send around 200 at any one time, so if i entered say 150 (in place of x) in a settings box then they would automatically get added to the ban list, let me know your views as i'm not going to work on something nobody feels is needed

Actually, yeah, I can't see as how that's a bad idea.
