Google searches

It seems that google sweeps TP in its searches. I have just deleted some text from a post as google was finding the words in its searches and directing its users to TP rather than the web site for which they were searching. What does this mean in terms of people posting harsh criticism and demeaning "humour" on the threads, when the comments are visible to the entire user population of the internet?

You want google to access the site, otherwise TP would only get discovered by word of mouth.

Forum admins can block certain forums from being accessed by Google, the private mods forum will be blocked to google as it is to the rest of us, but you can't stop google doing its job.

If you don't want google finding out what you post, the easy answer is to think about what you're saying before you press the 'go' button.

It means that if it's posted in a public area of the web, it'll be found by Google and probably any other search engine.
