No crawler should perform POST requests. it is simply bad etiquette and it is understood that POST requests are typically used to create/change/delete content or affect the environment.
- dpark 15y agoDon't write unsolicited POSTs into your page if you don't want crawlers to execute them. I think Google's doing the right thing in this particular case. If a post is happening automatically for all users, then crawlers must do it to ensure they get the same view.
- Fluxx 15y agoIf crawlers can perform them, then your users can/are too. I fail to see how crawlers need to obey by certain rules?
