Hidden PH content surfacing in Google

[vaud]

Now for clarity... I'm not asking for these threads to be reopened.

If I search on Google for "pistonheads labour antisemitism" - to see if there were any threads running - and update with the release of the report into Labours complaints process today...

..the search brings up a couple of links:

https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...
https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=15...

Which all have "nothing to see here"

Just curious as to why "hidden" threads are showing in Google?

I would guess it's because Google will have indexed them when they weren't hidden.

The threads still exist but, as you have identified, are now in places not generally accessible.
