Google and other search engines (Bing, Yandex…) have their own memory, so they don’t display an excerpt from the site that always 100% corresponds to reality. It can take a while for the search engine to reindex the site content and display a relevant site excerpt. It generally takes weeks, occasionally it may take months.
The quality of the forum matters to us a lot, so our ideal goal is that nobody needs any information on the author of a comment. However, it is possible that a potentially unlawful comment appears on the site. In that case, please contact the police who we will fully cooperate with to investigate the source of the comments.
Most comments are submitted anonymously. In this case we do not have the name or the email address of the author. We do not save readable IP addresses of posters either, only encrypted. We are, therefore, able to determine that for instance two comments were sent from the same device, but we are unable to provide a readable IP address.
