blocked by robots.txt.
Yep. Bad, bad, bots :) Crawlers are not required to honor this directive,
so saying "not accessible" wouldn't be so correct. A while ago I've also
looked at all the history of this message and all the past discussions and
that's the reason why the text was changed from `Search Engines Blocked`
to `Search Engines Discouraged`.
I'd stick with a minimal approach and just remove the capitalization and
make the message visually more evident since now it's just a line of text
surrounded by other text.
