Inpired by Delta's topic: http://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/RbUo3/i-need-tips-to-avoid-random-googlers-from-finding-my-private-giveaways

It would be nice to disable search engines to index this forum (or, at least, some topics) from indexing to avoid private giveaway leaks.

My own giveaway was on another site, and I don't know if this site allows it to be done already for giveaway links, but if not, it would be nice.

IMO this should be a nice option for SG too

actually not the first time i searched something on google to solve a problem and found a SG thread that actually helped, it would be nice for private giveaways only

No need for it, forum is public anyway. And local search does't allow to search for content in threads, only titles.

No. Internal search is really bad, I need a way to find what I want.
Don't post giveaways in open form - that's the best way to hide it. Google won't help to find something like aBcDe, and any steamgifter would understand what to do with five-symbol-code.

add meta no index attribute on invite only giveaways would be better.
