Should Politics & Economics be searchable from google?

ToneControl

There's quite a lot of heated discussion in there

Is everyone happy having that view-able by non-members and searchable by google?
e.g. There's probably a few people who have expressed enough opinions about Trump to hinder their passage through US border controls

The intention behind PoliticsEconomics and BCD is that they are not searchable. This is a guitar forum. Those are not guitar related subjects. Having them non-searchable means that we don’t have to spend (waste) too much effort moderating the content. It also means that we have fewer chancers, who have no interest in guitars, dropping in to spam us with their content.

No thanks ! Why ? Because of what Roland explained.

Actually, I think he's saying that it is searchable by Google, right now. It's not been a problem until recently, but...

yes, it was searchable when I tested it 
Has that been turned off now?

Good !  Wouldn't do our reputation much good if it was clear how many closet facists and marxists we had !
