Thanks ❤

Great news! 

@Matt Many thanks, the link to the updated tutorial helped me adding a few extra lines we didn't have yet, and we also ended up with a few lines that are not listed in the tutorial, and I will open a new topic in the community to discuss them.

Yes 🙂 If there is an existing robots.txt file, this is detected and you are promoted to download the file so you can manually add the rules to your existing file. 

Absolutely. If you already have a robots.txt file then you will be asked to download the generated version and then you can merge them in manually.

Otherwise, you can copy the rules from this guide and apply them yourself.
Well, 403 Forbidden isn't a great start... 😝

@Matt Really great, we really appreaciate the incredible effort put into improving this. Just one suggestion, to leave a way for us to add custom lines to the robots.txt in addition the optimized version (from the screenshot above, I got the impression that we can only select between optimized vs custom). So this options would create the optimized robots.txt + add the extra lines we configure manually. Because we have some custom directives to slow down or ban some bad crawlers that we wish to keep.

Awesome feature 🎉

OMG! I love this new function. I hope i can receive more visits now after add this new feature. Thanks a lot.

Great feature!
But it would be even more awesome if members could use their own stock replies.
Club owners, Marketplace creators and regular users might want to create, edit and use their own personalized messages.
Would it be possible in the future?
Thanks a lot!
