I do not agree.
On a site with user generated content, stopping most of that content from being crawled is not good. If you have a long standing thread on a good topic with 700 posts and only 20 of them get crawled you are losing.
Yes I know that forums have tons of worthless content and usually the main post is the most important but still.
And yes I do agree that it will increase conversion rates. I am just not sure if it is worth the loss of indexed content. We could be talking about many, many thousands of pages not being indexed on some sites.
On sites that do not rely heavily on search engine traffic this mod would be great.
