  "textContent": "> Out of interest, how much of a bot problem do you have on this forum and what non-CF steps do you take to stop it? It seems like a bunch of sites are taking the view nowadays that without CF, bots will just destroy any forum put on the public internet.\n\nThe bot problem on this forum has been primarily AI scrapers causing heavy load. I'm using anubis now to have a hands-free solution, but previously filtered things in nginx (where rate-limiting wouldn't be effective, that is -- in most cases it is all that's needed).\nSo, there are several ways to tackle the bot problem: use CF, use a different CDN/reverse proxy, use a local bot challenge solution, or use some reactive filtering and rate limiting in whatever web front-end you are using.\n\n* * *",
