By given advice, i step out of this conversation.

Sorry................ i cannot .
Let me trow up an idea and let YOU and the rest either give it a go... or reject it by good argumentation.

We use in oscommerce for all  links:
- tep_href_link

What if use for the above listed pages:
- tep_gen_href_link ( where _gen means: Generated link)

So if DIRECTLY goto contact_us.php and there is no KEY provided that matches.
You already know it is a bot.

Give it a thought.
I not say it go cover all problems.

Now i really stop.

Brilliant idea and coupled with your original suggestion of changing the access point of pages like create_account I think it would go along way to solving the bot issue. 👍
