SEs crawling Exclusive Domains for Sale Forum

[BGray]

I'm not sure if this is intended or if I was just misled but I took the Exclusive Domains for Sale Forum as one that all members could see but SE bots were excluded from crawling.

Anyway, I've seen several of these threads listed in search engines and I specifically posted a sale in that forum to avoid that.

Just figured I'd get that out here in case you weren't aware.
If you guys did know about it you might think about editing the Exclusive Main Category description as it states SEs can't index those forums.

I thought anyone without an exclusive membership couldn't access those forums anyway?

Maybe after the server switch some setting was overlooked. Checking into this now, thanks for the notice.

OK, for clarification, there's two Exclusive Sales forums:

Exclusive Domains for Sale
Exclusive domains for sale section. This section is open to exclusive members to post domains for sale which are viewable by all members.
(and search engines)

Exclusive Sales
This section will be emptied the first of each month to ensure no history exists on sales posted here.
(not viewable by either SE's or non-Exclusive members)
(and I notice that they need to be cleaned out, been a while, I will do this shortly but that's besides the main point here)

Hope this gives better clarification.

I will add the verbage about:
"viewable by all members (and search engines)"

This very moment, this very thread is being crawled by the search engines

I changed the setting for unregistered / not logged in and corrected the verbiage.

Exclusive domains for sale section. This section is open to Exclusive Members to post domains for sale which are viewable by all logged-in members.

yep, truth is that the Se's can pick up a lot, so don't go posting if you don't want it crawled period.
