Hello
I was wondering if there’s a way by which we can prevent Google bots from indexing the topics under specific category. Also preventing users under a certain trust level from downloading a link.
Regards,
Rahul

You can make the category available for TL0 and up. Will block anons and spiders from seeing it.

I have had already done that. I was wondering if doing that would solve the problem. Thanks

Try incognito mode in chrome, then you can see the content google has access to.
