   That spam is full of links and text. It's most likely link spam.

   You're leaving it in an indexable place. Google doesn't understand your ironically named trash bin.

   Lanny needs to sort out the SEO of this place.
   
   Probably google doesn't recognise it as a forum and doesn't have a clue what it is.

   We don't know the exact pagerank algorithm (there's a paper with a formula but it's old and even then it's obvious there was abuse prevention that wasn't discussed) but it's generally understood that excessive outlinking is penalized. The real answer is I just need to flag the trash forum in robots.txt and probably set up a sitemap. Haven't done that yet though.
   
   As always, PRs welcome.

    I say we just auto-delete any post by any new member that has a hyperlink in it. Is that possible?
