    Hello!

    Can someone explain what causes those lines in device.log?

    I've disabled anonymous posting, if that is relevant.

    That means that a 'bot' tried to crawl post.php, and there is no reason a
    bot needs to do that, so it was blocked.

    I'm actually working on moving the criteria for this to overrides.inc.php,
    but for now it is hard coded.
