Hey Dan, It seems to me that data regarding events are stored/referenced in multiple tables. This stops me from just deleting data from a single table as it could affect the rest of the data inside the other tables and end up with an out-of-sync database. Unless I'm horribly mistaken that is.

One possible solution for this would be to whitelist the crawler's User Agent by doing the following: -determine the User Agent that the bot is sending with the request -determine which rule(s) are triggering the Active Response -write new child rule(s) that match the User Agent of the bot and
