Community Google Indexing?

I just realized that one of my communities is being indexed by google/robots -- which is not what I want. I clicked around but I don't see the option to limit/prevent this (on a community basis). My personal LJ is set to no-index.

Is this currently possible? Planned for the future? Tied to the privacy level of the poster?

Thanks.

ETA: Thanks! I expected it to be under "Manage Community" and it was elsewhere.

You can set the privacy setting for a community the same way you do for a personal journal: http://www.dreamwidth.org/manage/settings/?cat=privacy. Under Work as account, select your community and once you've switched to the account, select Minimize my journal's inclusion in search engine results

If you go to http://www.dreamwidth.org/manage/settings/?cat=privacy , you can choose to work as your community rather than as yourself. The second option down is to minimize your journal's inclusion in search engine results.

It's currently possible (assuming that you're talking about a community that you run, not just one that you're a member of): go to account settings, then switch to the comm in the "work as account" dropdown, and the privacy tab has a "Minimize my community's inclusion in search engine results" checkbox.
