   I'm conflicted on this.  Blocking the IP address, ok, is good but I expect it takes work. Blocking guests from viewing content? I prowled TRW for maybe a year before deciding that it is too valuable a community not to be part of.  TRW is both civil and informed. I guess I don't have a solution, but I wish this scourge would end.

Cloudflare has a new AI bot blocking feature. Designed for this sort of scenario I think.

Apparently this was done. I had to log in to see anything today.

Still getting the database errors though.
