Unfortunately we do have a "problematic person" in Korat who does publish names, personal information and defaming comments on his websites when drunk or blind with anger. A few days later he might see things maybe a little clearer and block these websites to public access. But too late! Google has already read that misleading and defamatory content and keeps it in the search engine, and those pages now blocked by the owner of the website are still publicly accessible as a cached screenshot on Google.

Today I was asked by a friend what he could do to protect himself from any long-term effects of that.

I think best is to ask Google to update their info of that site that is no longer open to the public but still ruining your reputation by the search results and cached pages. Read more about that there

I can imagine that Google will be a little more careful with future indexing of a page that has been asked to be removed from the search results and cache over and over again by different people. Maybe then (and far too late for the page's success) its owner might understand that it is of little use to buy a domain name for a fortune, if hespoiled  the success of his own site  bychallenged repercussions to his own drunk or mentally sick use of his site.

So please don't hold back reporting pages and search results to Google that might cause you disadvantages. Even people claiming to have undergone an education as lawyer don't have the freedom to use the word criminal in connection with somebody's name. They have to respect the presumption of innocence of others. Nothing against calling themselves criminals...

Maybe the person who probably understands that he is the subject again could himself just ask Google to update his site in the search results. I think that an easier way. ;)

It's nothing to get excited about, JF. He's just continuing to make himself look a fool and further damaging his reputation.

I was sad to see KF close. However, the peace that we have had from the taunts, lies and provocation from Sick Bin has been a blessed relief. Isn't that all we wanted him to do? Isn't that what we repeatedly asked him to do? He might be using his now hidden forum to continue his nonsense but it doesn't really matter. It simply shows anyone who might still not be sure, just who the troublemaker really is. In time, he will be in solitary confinement in there.

The title of this thread is "Remove my name, personal information, content from Google search results", and that is what this is about. I was asked how to get Google to remove that dumb stuff from its search index and cache to avoid long-term effects. So I suggested the person addressed should maybe himself just ask Google to update his site in the search index. After he closed his forum to the public it were a logic step to keep cleaning up and also have that dumb stuff disappear from the public internet completely. It's that easy.

Sure, I understand that. He won't bother, I don't suppose. But it doesn't matter because he's the loser in the end. Let's look forward to the peace and quiet that we all enjoyed before the Martian landed.

I was suggesting to minimize the damage he causes to others in his strife to prove himself the loser. Nobody doubts he is!
