It's already in place and should be activated, Lumpy.

In the admin cp, there is a whole page with a list of like a kabillion search engine spiders that you can edit or delete to allow to spider the site. I don't delete any on my sites as those are 'good' bots.

Spam bots are the problem for boards and this software has a pretty good prevention system for that built right in. Unfortunately spammers are now joining in human form but with strict limitations for registrations and permissions, IP checks etc, these are few and far between.
