Bots
Posted: June 9th, 2018, 8:49 pm
I have noticed that often there is a google bot or a bing bot online and even listed as a “registered user”.
Could our guardian angel administrator please comment on this and what the policy is, as maintained by our site operators.
I have also noticed that all posts can be found by googling.
Let me be clear, I am not stating a preference here, nor wishing to start an argument, but just bringing it to attention for others who might not have noticed. In other forums where I am and have been a member, I sometimes have the choice to select if my posts are seen by just friends, or by registered users or the whole world. Then I presume the appropriate (hidden) html code is put in my posts and if it says no bots, then google respects it.
What do others think?
