|

Dustbin is really screwing up my google searches. I know I can just add -dustbin to my searches, but spam really pisses me off. Any chance you guys can just delete the entire forum, messages and all?
Thankie,
Daniel |

I agree, some sort of automated kill-after-so-many-days script would be nice, if not already implemented. If it is, shorten that time period. _________________ iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAA

i never understood why they never just set the dustbin to user+guest hidden, but it's not my forum to make suggestions... _________________

Given that some of the topics in Dustbin are not exactly spam, there might be some stuff in there worth leaving visible to users. As such, it has only been hidden from users who are not logged in. |

Shouldn't it be invisible to google then in the first place? _________________ Dinosaur week! (Ok, this thread is so last week) |

unless you added some functionality, phpbb v2 did not have any search bot-related user groupings, so they are treated as unregistered guests... the dustbin has been visible the whole time. _________________
