Re: Retrospective freeze break: Block riddler.io

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hi, Earlier today, the riddler.io bot pulled Bodhi under by performing a lot of heavy requests. I know from experience that this bot does NOT listen to robots.txt, even though the website says it does (it hit my personal webserver as well at an earlier time), so I have currently blocked it by user agent.

An email has been sent to the maintainer of the bot, but for the time being, let's block it from using any bodhi resources.
