Trust me 1-Star-Drive-By Reviews by "customers" without any merit are just as bad for businesses. So, congrats. You've basically discovered that online review systems suck. Look at app stores. Look at Amazon product reviews.

For what it's worth: they do honor the robots.txt file. I had the same problem with a client's CMS and denying all AI crawler user agents did the trick. It's clear they've all gone mad. The traffic spiked 400% overnight
