Warmaster Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 My least favorite member of this forum is Google.com. I now note that google.com is spending a tremendous amount of time "Using Personal Messenger". Is there any chance our friends at Google are indexing our private messages to each other? Can google.com be eliminated from this forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfouasnon Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 I would also suggest that we kill Ask Jeeves....he also appears quite often..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairman lar Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Often wondered about those 2 myself. Makes me a little nervous, but actually prefer them being listed as logged in members instead of guests or, even worse, anonymous. Perhaps the 'moderating team' or someone could explain to us newcomers exactly who they are & what they are doing here? I'm beginning to suspect Orwell was an optimist.

Zarathustra Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 My least favorite member of this forum is Google.com. I now note that google.com is spending a tremendous amount of time "Using Personal Messenger". Is there any chance our friends at Google are indexing our private messages to each other? Can google.com be eliminated from this forum? I just noticed forummember 'Google' is still scanning al the board profiles (click details at guestlist). I second this old request from Warmaster..

Inspector Gadget Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 I had no idea this was happening. I'd like to see something done about this as well if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Inquisitor Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Google crawler only indexes information publicly available and what the is set by the board settings to allow it to see. It's actually very simple to disable web crawlers but without them the forum or the site won't receive hits on search engines. It does not collect private messages or anything you privately add to the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
