Introduction
We often waste a lot of time to seek a solution for a bug or looking for a driver for an old machine ... In most cases, log-files or Hijackthis reports can cause confusion on Search engine results.

Examples of desired behaviors
Log-files and bug reports could be attached with a specific extension (.log .run) that could be ignored by search engine robots. Or that could be blocked by robots.txt rules.
Robot Exclusion is a nice Microformat project published by Peter Janes to to solve such problem.
But, what if we want to search in these reports data ? The best way is to add a specific microformats for these reports.
Different actual behaviours
Some forums like Techspot avoid such spammy behaviour by obliging members to post log-files as an attachment. See their rules
