i would like to know if, via a script, it could be possible to put a limitation for going up to a specific parent folder, as like as X:\
-> would be useful sometimes to limitate unwanted multiple clicks on Up parent folder icon or multiple backpace key actions

Don't think that's possible through XY scripting.
Although e.g. AutoHotkey would allow this, it's too much effort (sending data between xy & ahk back and forth).

Before I kill "raniadoll". Can anybody enlighten me about the recent flood of SPAM(?)-bots that just try to pass the turing test by copying and assembling bits of other posts in new posts. But don't actually SPAM (by linking to products). What's behind this (apart from the obvious: retarded teenagers)?

My understanding, as a mod responsible for killing spam on a forum for a game I play, is that this is done so they can go back in later and either edit their post with spam or add spam to their forum signature, and by that point, nobody will be looking at the post. It doesn't get page clicks to the spam, but it
does help with their scuzzy SEO agenda.
The first time I encountered that behavior, a few years back, we were all super confused. We let several posts go by from one spambot (they looked legitimate!) before we realized that it was pulling existing posts from years earlier and reposting them. Now we're on the lookout for it.

That makes sense. Luckily they are easy to detect for a brain.
