The Tarpit module allows you to build a tar pit on particular URL that you can define.
When the spammer visit those links, a special page with text and links is displayed.
If the bot continues crawling those links, after a depth limit, an action that you can define is triggered.
The module is bundled with multiple submodules that you can enable according to your needs.
