This will probably sound paranoid, but what with the amount of SEO spiders crawling every webpage and indexing everything, and with no current indication of who’s online, absolutely everything that’s posted goes straight out into the “everywhere”. Now I appreciate that just having a log in as a barrier isn’t a barrier to anything but spiders and the terminally lazy but…I kind of wanted to start a Post a Pic of your Pet thread. However, the idea of those pictures then being scooped up into Google Images bothers me (and my dog!) a little.
So would it be possible either to have a proper Hide option that restricts viewing to only those logged in, or a sub forum that’s only visible once you are logged in (and not a bot)?
