    This sounds like your web server’s mod_security module denied access to a client that had the string “SurveyBot” in its USER_AGENT header.

    Looks like just a rule to block useless robots – nothing to worry about, everything worked out as it was supposed to.

    Edit: The rule indeed seems to be in mod_security’s bad robots list.
