It's been resolved. Now we're discussing Naryar's abuse of the English language.
No, no we are not. Take it elsewhere.

In all honesty, I thought Naryar was just making a joke when he said it. Posted by: HurricaneAndrew« on: August 20, 2013, 03:34:16 PM »Both words have the same meaning in french.

Fine. although I am hardly convinced by that search motor argument, nor do I think too highly of newbies who think this should be overly clean.
I'll try reducing my swearword use. after all, it is better to be more original with my insults. Let's try it now... Qwerty, you truly are a pox-riddled son of a mongrel dog when you dare to speak of class because you have none at all. Posted by: HurricaneAndrew« on: August 20, 2013, 01:14:37 PM »Sure, if you type the actual name of the forum in, but if you're just searching something related to GTM like Battlebots or Robot Wars, they'll omit us in favor of showing cleaner sites.

Go ahead and hit the "Report to moderator" button or send me a PM whenever you see any member of the staff misbehaving. I am their supervisor and they are your supervisors. I am able to see everything they do from within the admin logs/reports and I also read through all the posts that get reported to moderators. As HA said, search engines don't see playground. They are literally just programs that run on servers looking at GTM as if they were merely visiting guests. The primary goal of their AI is to determine how much value our site would have to people using their services. As such, they find keywords that allow themselves to categorize and rank us (quite a bit more complicated than it sounds). They wouldn't necessarily know that the Junkyard existed unless we got reported by a human. Since playground is an opt-in option without any porn, I doubt search engines really care. Unlike word filters that leave behind things like f***, ****, or even @$$, it is not immediately obvious to our guests that the section exists and therefore isn't the search engine's problem. I would eliminate Playground in a heartbeat if it became obviously detrimental to GTM's longevity (SEO score, guest-member retention, etc.). In fact, I might do it anyways just to re-establish a friendlier atmosphere.... but not right now... The filter is currently only swapping out ~3 swear words for asterisk alternatives. It is hardly good coverage and I would appreciate it if none of you count on your word choices being filtered. Also, please don't assume that just because you used leet or you mashed things together that it is any better. In fact, I'm almost certain that using filtered words has a negative impact on our SEO score. That's why, I try to remove everything that I see that could potentially detract visitors from our site. Search engines, like Google, also spend more time on GTM than ANY of us do so they are much more likely to pick up on posts that contain foul language/imagery before they get cleaned up. That said, it is better to get rid of any/all of the foul language regardless of their age because even an old post can do damage to our SEO score.

Trov has explained this before. Playground is off-limits to anyone who hasn't joined it so it won't affect GTM showing up on search engines. |
