Suggestion
Comments on DEV should no longer be indexed (including already posted ones).
This would make it so if you looked up something on Google you wouldn't find something irrelevant or in the middle of a conversation.
Rationale
My reasoning for making this suggestion is because recently I looked up my name, "Calin Baenen", using Google and the second result was a random comment replying to me:
In addition, I don't believe it's standard for sites to index comments; the only site I've seen do this is Twitter.

Oh wow! Yeah, I see what you mean... it does seem kinda strange to index comments.
I was about to ask if you wouldn't mind writing this up as discussion in our repo, but I can see that you already have here. Thanks so much!
Of course!
Anything for the quality of DEV and all.
Thank you for taking the time to view the suggestion. :)
As an update, the title used for the indexed item seems to change based on what I last wrote:
Nevermind, it turns out Google's filtering is just being generous.
