I'm trying out Google's Gemini AI and have asked it to summarize a long thread on my forum. But it is telling me that it doesn't have access, saying "If you are able to inquire with the forum platform administrators, asking specifically about their anti-bot measures, crawler-blocking settings, or robots.txt file configuration would be the most productive avenue. This would help clarify the exact reason for the access denial."

Is there something that I can modify that would allow Gemini in? And, if so what are the implications of doing so?

Do guests have permission to see posts in that forum? Are you self hosted or cloud hosted?

Yeah, the first and most important question: Do guests have access to visit the topic?

If yes, are you using cloudflare and blocking AI crawlers?
