It's better IMO to use the meta ROBOTS NOINDEX for those pages because only Google non-standard robots.txt enhancements is flexible enough to what you want leaving the other SEs still to be dealt with.

thanks incrediBill,
i dont think i can use robots NOINDEX for those pages as they are automatically generate by my forum software, but i going to look into their FAQ to see if that is possible...

You would have to conditionally include it per page, a programming change, very unlikely it's already supported but something they should support based on Google's stance on thin/duplicate content so maybe they'll implement it for you, can't hurt to ask.

@incredibill
just to let you know, i tried the lesser problem for now and settled blocking the following;
Disallow: /forum/index.php?app=core
Disallow: /forum/index.php?app=members
Disallow: /forum/index.php?autocom
Disallow: /forum/index.php?s=
within 4 days about 5.000 pages were blocked and as a nice side effect the visitor level is almost back to pre panda level...

hi viggen,
i have a somewhat similar issue. I want to blog user profiles for a forum where the extension looks like such:
/forum/profile.php?id=227
how can i block all of those profiles using robots.txt?
thanks in advance.

...i would assume
Disallow: /forum/profile.php?
should do the trick, if you have Google WMT you can test if it does block it correctly...
