How to block W3 validator from accessing your site?

It was a bit difficult to put this in the right category but I guess HTML was the best choice:
I am trying to figure out how you can block the w3 validator from accessing your site. As an example I looked at <a particular website>.
Go to http://validator.w3.org and enter the URl there and you see what I mean. It will show as “couldnt access page…… 403 forbidden”.
How did thy do this? Thought first it had to do with the robots….but it apparently is something else as I tried copying the robots into a test site…but after that the site could still be accessed by the validator.
