Should you block iaskspider/2.0?

You can, but it may not listen. iAsk has not documented iaskspider/2.0, so treat any rule as a request. Blocking it can reduce the chance that iAsk can fetch or cite your pages in answers.

About robots.txtiaskspider/2.0 may not follow every robots.txt rule, because a person starts each request.

robots.txt
User-agent: iaskspider/2.0
Disallow: /

Asks iaskspider/2.0 not to crawl any page. Add it to the robots.txt file at the root of your site, above any wider rules.

Ignored robots.txt?

Allowing iaskspider/2.0 only creates the possibility of retrieval. To find out whether your pages are selected, measure which answer engines actually cite your pages using a stable query set.

Spot it in your logs.

Match the name, then check where the request came from. Anyone can copy a user-agent.
