Why are requests arriving every five minutes?

CentComBot checks each participating host for new data on that schedule. Its fuller check for modifications runs every 30 minutes.

When should a deletion appear in CentCom?

MelonMesa says modifications and deletions from a consenting source are reflected in the application's database within 30 minutes.

Will a robots.txt rule stop CentComBot?

That is unknown. No compliance statement is published, so a host that must stop collection should also leave the opt-in arrangement or enforce access at the endpoint.

Does CentComBot feed generative AI?

No such use is documented. It synchronizes multiplayer game records into the CentCom panel.

MelonMesa Bot & AI Search: What to Know

What is MelonMesa Bot?

CentComBot is a scheduled collector for CentCom, not a crawler that roams the general web. MelonMesa uses it to aggregate records about an online multiplayer game from hosts that have opted in to the collection.

The resulting records are searchable in the CentCom panel. The crawler checks participating hosts for new data every five minutes and performs a more thorough check for modified data every 30 minutes. MelonMesa says source changes and deletions reach the application database within 30 minutes.

That timetable gives the traffic a recognizable rhythm in host logs. Requests contain the stable CentComBot token, while the published user-agent example begins with a browser-compatible string. No robots.txt behavior is documented, so support for exclusions remains unknown.

CentComBot's stated purpose is synchronizing game records from consenting sources. MelonMesa does not identify it as an AI search crawler and does not say the records are collected for model training. Its effect is confined to the CentCom data service described by the operator.

Indirectly relevant

Is MelonMesa Bot relevant for AI search?

Indirectly. MelonMesa Bot has no AI product of its own, but its output can end up in the systems that AI answers draw on.

MelonMesa Bot collects content from many sites and redistributes it through its own product. Aggregated copies can end up in datasets that AI systems later learn from, and some aggregators are themselves sources that AI answer engines draw on.

How to handle MelonMesa Bot

A participating host should leave the collection path available if it wants new, changed, and deleted records reflected in CentCom. If the requests are no longer expected, first review whether that host is still enrolled in the opt-in arrangement.

The token is stable enough for this rule:

User-agent: CentComBot
Disallow: /

MelonMesa does not state that CentComBot follows robots.txt. Treat the file as a request, not a confirmed stop mechanism. End the participation arrangement or enforce the decision at the collection endpoint when access must cease, then check that the five-minute polling pattern disappears.

Examples

An opted-in host adds a record and sees `CentComBot` return during a five-minute new-data check.
After deleting a source record, an administrator checks the CentCom panel within 30 minutes to see whether the scheduled modification pass removed it.
