Often, the top Google result/s for a query is a print page - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=printpage;topic=106596.0

I don't know why these pages appear so high on Google (relatively), but they're irrelevant, since the same content always appears in a better form if you remove the "action=printpage" from the URL.

Can we add to the site's robots.txt file a direction instructing robots not to index anything with the string "action=printpage" in its URL?

Wap2 versions also appear very often.

User-agent: *
...(other stuff)
Disallow: /index.php?action=printpage
Disallow:  /index.php?wap2
