| Dec 14, 2016 at 15:59 | comment | added | André Borie | Would it be possible to add an explanation for humans on those "fake" 404 errors, or redirect to the captcha page? It shouldn't matter to bots as any bot specifically designed for SE would've already figured this out, and generic bots won't be able to read/understand the explanation telling them to change the user-agent. | |
