offtheromanroad Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Dear all, I just realized my ExC posts are found when searching for my username on Google. Is there any way to prevent this? I can't find anything in the Account Settings. Have a great day, OTRR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin webmdave Posted February 5, 2019 Admin Share Posted February 5, 2019 In general, Ex-Christian.net is open to all search engines at this time. However, you may adjust the security settings on your personal blog posts to only be visible to forum members of your choosing. Doing that will keep your blog posts out of the search engines.

offtheromanroad Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 Hello dave, Thank you! Am I guessing correctly that this is only possible for personal blog posts, but not for forum posts? OTRR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Moderator TheRedneckProfessor Posted February 8, 2019 Super Moderator Share Posted February 8, 2019 I realized a few years ago that my posts were visible on the search engines; and that, worst still, both my screen name and my little "ix" symbol are also associated with me in real life, meaning that anyone coming across my posts would immediately recognize me by my name and trademark. Fortunately, I've suffered from a lifelong case of the fuck-its, so, after the initial shock, I just laughed it off and went on about my business. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One could change their account icon, I guess and their profile too...put in some disinformation in the old profile. Tell people you're from New Zealand or Georgia or something, just to throw em off the scent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
