Hi all Apologies if this is a really simple question, with really simple answers. We’ve been using Discourse platform live for about a year now and loving it - with our only gripe being that when we reject a post in the approval queue, we’d love the post to go into a “reject bin” or “reject area” …

Search engines see the same content as any non-logged in user. Just visit your site in incognito and you’ll see what they see :wink: PS: Answer is no to both your questions.

Thanks for that speedy information. So our whispers and private sections will not be seen or cached by the search engines - Thats good to know. Which admin option(s) do I need to switch on to allow search engines to start seeing our forum?

I’m guessing you have enabled the “login required” setting? If so, then just disable it :wink:

If I untick the “Login Required” setting, would all registered users still have to log in as usual in order to post ? I dont want any unregistered users being able to post.

Discourse requires a user account to post, so yes :wink:

Many thanks for the speedy info.
