Hi there!

We recently deleted a user's account and noticed that users can now search up this user's name on search engines (specifically Google's) and find threads that were intended to be private but they can now see a title and a small description.

So for example if you were to search up "security bug site:xenforo.com/community", regardless if the subforum was private, it would show up in the results which is not the best for our site!

Any solutions or ideas on a fix are appreciated...
