Crawlers and spiders are the same things: bots that browse the Internet to read its content, mostly used by search engines. I believe one of the admins identified a few of these so the "users browsing this forum" thingy wouldn't count them toward the number of guests.
Spambots are bots that register to forums for the express purpose to create spam posts and topics.

Here's one right here that I can't ban. At the time of me posting this, it has made 32 posts. The 50 limit would make getting rid of these much easier as I haven't seen any hitting 50 as of late, but a lot of them have been getting past 30 lately.

It doesn't show up on a member search for newly registered users. It can't be the number of posts, because there are those with even more posts, yet are vulnerable to the banhammer. Is it bypassing something in the system?

Admirable efforts on Manye's part.
However if this bot has found some way to bypass the system like that, it's not the only one there's been bots before that have been roughly 25-35 and have become unbannable.
Edit:
Dammit Yellow Magician, cause you posted in one of the bot topics it didn't get deleted with the owner so now it's just cluttering up and it makes you look responsible for a Viagra ad as you default to the thread's creator XD
The thread in question if some mod wants to fix it.

Yeah, it's generally recommended not to post in spambot threads for the above reason. If you see it and can't/won't do anything about it, it's best to just report it.

I don't know if just being a sleeper bot allows them to bypass the restriction. There's got to be another factor here.

I've been quite the asshole to all the poor little kittens.
By my estimations, there are 70-80 users registering daily, and anywhere between 30-50 are known bots. And most aren't even trying to hide it anymore with their gibberish names with alternating text and spam "titles."

Another one I can't delete. Has 28 posts. I'd love to know what these bots are doing that are making them unbannable for us normal members. It's driving me insane. Or maybe I'm just feeling a little power hungry.

Whatever the case, I broke the handle on my banhammer twice Monday into Tuesday.
It's turned into Spambotron 2084.

It seems like most of them are hiding their online status because I've seen some say "online" on their profile, yet their name isn't at the bottom. I've also seen two with a custom title saying they joined to get banned, so there's definitely some humans in the mix. There was also one who somehow joined twice with the same name.

It's turned into Spambotron 2084.That "I joined to get banned" isn't an indication they are human. The site has a hilarious word filter which identifies some common bot "pitches" and changes it into that to make it clear what the bot's fate is.

In case it isn't obvious, Manyethendy is back for round 3 at 31 posts. Seriously, this is getting ridiculous.

How quick was it to hit 31 posts?
It's like that bot is rigged to hit the amount to bypass our banhammers as it slows down considerably after.

I don't know, because I've seen a couple now with 20-ish posts that I couldn't banhammer either, whereas, I've banned a couple that had posts in their 30s. There's something beyond just a post count that's making these guys immune to us members.

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with what group they're in. IIRC, everyone is supposed to start out in the Newly Registered Users group, and that is the group from which users CAN be banned. Even people from 2010 with under 50 posts can still be in this group. However, from what I've seen, some of these new bots somehow end up in a group other than the Newly Registered Users.
I'd be curious to know how these new user/bots start off as something other than a new user, or if that's not the case, then how they are capable of immediately jumping to a group immune to the regular banhammer.

The only problem with that is Mandythendy isn't the only bot that keeps returning under the same name.

It's arguably one of the worst though, most others don't reach unbannable levels.
