Is this robots.txt not allowing bots to crawl?


Found this on a site, is this preventing the bots from crawling?

Code:
User-Agent: OmniExplorer_Bot
Disallow: /
Sorry, answered my own question.

As you were.

Nasty bots don't follow robots.txt.

robots.txt is something like a "Hey, I want/don't want you to come here, but if you insist, there is nothing I can do "

It tells OmniExplorer_Bot not to follow, other bots are fine.
