Advanced Noindex (Lite) (Count/Prune/Move) by Forumsetup.net
Developer Last Online: Jun 2018 
Advanced Noindex makes it amazingly easy to only display your best content to search engines.
It's been debated whether noindexing thin forum content helps or hurts your site. Particularly those that have been hit with a Panda update. There was a pretty good indicator lately that noindexing may be a good option for forums. See this Google hangout with Webmaster Central staff that specifically addresses forums, and managing their content: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r3IIPCHt0E#t=4142 Some more commentary from Google:
So with that I present Advanced Noindex. There have been other noindex mods created, but this is by far the most advanced. Here are the features: For threads:
For pages:
Pro Version The pro version adds these features. You can count, move, and prune threads based on:
To get the Pro version please go here. Notes Before you install, take a good hard look at your Google rankings, your traffic, and your content. If you think that you could do better or have done better then this mod may help. If manual moderation/content deletion is not an option then this mod can definitely help! If your traffic declined after a Panda update it will also help! If you truly think that all of your content is good content, and you have really good moderators that look after that content, then there is really no reason to use this mod. Install instructions:
There are an infinite number of ways you can noindex threads. Mine are set to noindex threads that have less than 15 words and no replies. This is pretty conservative and I have a high degree of confidence that these threads are junk anyway. You could potentially noindex threads that have less than 100 words, 1 reply or less, more than 2 years old by members in the registered usergroup. OR you could simply noindex all threads with less than 200 words. OR all threads created by a small list of users under the 'news' prefix. The list goes on and on... Please be smart and test things after you set something!! Disclaimer: Forumsetup.net is in no way responsible for loss in traffic to your site. This modification does NOT insert a copyright on your site. It may NOT be redistributed without permission. Release log 7/22/14 - initial release 7/23/14 - improved logic considerably, added prefix option, added test option 8/4/14 - added an option to exclude member from noindexing and an option to noindex (or exclude) threads with attachments - created pro version that has a tool to count, prune, and move threads based on advanced criteria Download Now Only licensed members can download files, Click Here for more information.

First?
Yes, that´s the mod I was looking for last week. Thanks for reading my mind, tpearl  Testing. Last Google Update for our sites was march, 9th and we expect the next just around the next 2 weeks. So it will take some time to come up with some convincing results. Good one, tpearl.

But in the end - after 2 months - I had no significant loss of visitors, but a slightly better time on site, pages per visit. I´ld expect the same from yours and starting at the point, where I´m now leaving the old mod.
We´ve been monitored by AGOF (http://www.agof.de/). Quite expensive, but worth the money. So we always now, when and where Google made an update, called as out with a penalty aso. Guess, there´s something similiar existing for the US. No members have liked this post.

FYI, until I figure out how this could be integrated into the mod, you can run this query to determine how many threads you would be noindexing if you set it based on words and replies. Just change the 1 after replycount and 15 after words to whatever.
WARNING: this query could take a while if you have a lot of threads. I ran it on one of my sites with almost 200k threads and it took 5 seconds, but results will vary.

Thanks for providing. Roundabout 10k to get rid off, w/o member profiles and other pages. Hope it won´t hurt that much.

Just updated to 1.1 !
Please be aware that if in the previous version you had an entire forum, usergroup, or members set and you want them to work independently of the other options you'll have to set the independent option for that option. Otherwise everything will function as an AND statement. In otherwords, the logic is much more advanced now, so you can say things like "Noindex threads with less than 100 words, 0 replies, 5 years old, in forums 1,2,3, posted by usergroups 5,6 and users 80,90,100."

You´ve set 0 posts and 15 words, John? I have my cleansweep project running with 2 and 200. Will be a surprise what we will see in 3 month. Not sure that my way is the right one - or the highway
Thumbs up for the enhanced product, John! No members have liked this post.
