I shared an invite link on https://station.railway.com/questions/deployment-is-stuck-on-image-push-728b9eb7 and now that invite link is apearing on google search result. Please delete the invite link from the forum page. If possible please delete the page altogether.

Railway should have mechanisms to exclude them from search results, I guess in the robot.txt

Can agree here. Even if the user shared it publicly or already expired/not active, that should not be indexed by Google.

Maybe that should've gone to #🤗|feedback but it's too late 😅 and maybe it pouses a security risk

Still it is in the search results, and even AI is picking it up, I have to launch this product in a few days, this is very terrible, this is a huge problem, this will really screw things up. Please! fix this. Railway should have never let those pages get indexed, this is such a mess up.

We let Google index our form and you had shared that link publicly.
Invite link should never get indexed, u guys have a terrible robots.txt policy. It is alarming that you guys are not even recognizing that as an issue.
Also, I can't understand the logic behind the following decisions
There isn't an easy way to expire the invite link.
Once someone tries to join the project using the invite link, there isn't a way for the original author to approve or decline before the user joins the project
Even facebook groups has better security than this.
