LTT forums question - hiding my content in post from google search

[Pachuca]

is it possible for me to make a post on here and hide the content of my post so it doesn't come up in a search engine?

Anything public is public to Google, and that's a site thing.

 

There's a subforum that any posts you do is visible to you if you need a scratchpad.

Nope.

Probably a question for @colonel_mortis he could probably answer this best for you.

But I am sure he will say no.

The only thing we could do would be to remove your posts, and even that wouldn't actually stop the posts showing up when you searched for your name until several months later when Google reindexes the topic, just that clicking those links would go to a topic without your post, or to a 404 page if you were the original author of the topic. We would prefer not to do that because posts can help people in the future, but it is an option.

thanks, I wanted to share some code, but didn't want it to be public with a simple search. I'll figure something out.
