Duplicate thread title

[uaecasher]

hello,

I have a new member introduction section and most members write same title like "hello" or "new member".

what should i DO? can i block google from going there without forcing people to be logged in to view it?

thanks

You can dis-clude that forum within robots.txt and dis-clude it from your sitemap as well.

It will remain open, but you won't be 'suggesting' it to the robots to waste time in that area.
