sadams101 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I believe there is a setting somewhere that can limit the bots from seeing user signature content, but I can't find it. I could be wrong here, but if anyone know please share this with me...thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Randy Calvert Posted October 17, 2022 Solution Share Posted October 17, 2022 IPS does not identify human vs bot, so unfortunately I don't think you can do it for just bots. You can however turn signatures off for guests... since most bots should be guests, this might work for you.

sadams101 Posted October 17, 2022 Author Share Posted October 17, 2022 Thanks, I was hoping there was a way without disabling them, maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another option might be: This would put known bots (like Googlebot, etc) into a specific group that you create. That group can have signatures disabled for them. Just trying to think a bit outside of the box here. 🙂 sadams101 and DawPi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Hi @sadams101, I hope the above has given you some alternatives to what you are trying to achieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dll Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 It's simpler than that I think? Bots view as guests and there's an option in the ACP to either show or hide signatures to guests. Member settings > profiles > profile settings > show signatures to guests Daniel F and sadams101 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it wont distinguish between true guests and bots, but it would certainly ensure no bots are viweing them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
