I don't want my name (through SCN) to display in google search

[former_member188063]

Hi, I don't know where to post this thread even. I don't want my name to pop up when people search my name. Now when they search my name, my name displays from the questions, I asked in the forum's before. I check my account privacy setting but couldn't turn off there.

Can any one please help.

Hi SM,

             you are answering technical queries or writing technical articles in SCN. Your posts are very helpful to people who are looking  for answers.  I can see no reason where you feel insecured about people knowing your name for the good work you have done. Anyways SCN has personal account setting features which you can use to put generic names such as "SAP-Prorammer","world Citizen" etc. You can also set all other information about you as private except your name. We can't stop google to stop looking in SCN as Lukas has mentioned.

Anupan is correct: just adopt a generic name for your account.

Keep in mind that Google has a memory (it's index) and will take time to flush out the old data.

You can reach out to sapnetwork@sap.com if you have any problems editing your account details.

Regards,

Jason

This can't be turned off. The site already is crawled (and already has been so in the old SDN too). The only thing you can try is change your display name etc. (I see you already did this apparently) and check back in google after 90 days or so which is the usual crawl-intervall, i.e. the google cache will be updated unless manipulated by a robots.txt by the SCN-Site admins.

Spiders. Spiders everywhere. They are watching us ಠ_ಠ

Nope.  Once they opend the site to google search, your name is out there.  At least as far as I know there is no way to stop it unless google has some process.
