So I doubt they can see Member only area's. Unless you have the boards open to categories. and only staff members are allowed to see the Admin Panel. But I think that would be good to show the names of Bots like on phpBB, Google[Bot].

I see the same thing, but as a guest you can't access those area's at all.

That's where the confusion lies. There's no chance that a bot can see what a member can see, so don't worry.

No one other than staff can view the admin panel it's just as if you were a guest and tried to view http://support.virtualforums.co.uk/action/admin it's not possible.

At least to identify the main bots such as Google Bot, Google Adsense, Bing etc. And as said, there is no way bots can see member only areas. Those who say they're viewing PMs or admin areas are most likely ad-crawlers (trying to determine the best ads to display). They just see either an error message or a login form.
