We have fixed the problem on Wall.fm, Oxwall users will get it with the next platform update. To fix the problem right now you should replace this file soft_root_dir/ow_core/dispatcher.php with the one attached below (please don't forget to unzip it).

@Chris: i have a better idea for you
create a text file named exactly "robots.txt" and put this text in it:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

/indicates the root... if you have oxwall installed in other dir. then use..

User-agent: *
Disallow: /dirname/

this indicates that any search crawler will not be able to crawl after //
and replace "dirname" with your directory name.. eg. if you have directory name "host" then use like this

User-agent: *
Disallow: /host/

@Chris

To have your site not appear in google you need to add a robots.txt file in your site's top-level directory. to do that,
go to https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/ and login with google username/password.
create and verify a site profile. and enter webmaser tool dashboard and click on that site link.
now, go to "Crawler access" link from the left side menu.
generate robots.txt file properly and upload in your site's top-level directory.
(if you're in a cpanel server it should be home>public_html)

that is done that google will not index your pages anymore.
now let's have a look how can u remove all/any of your pages,catched copy from google, that already indexed.
after logging in to webmaster tools account go to,
https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/removals
create removal requests to remove pages you want.

Hope That Helps. :)

@Leo
Did you placed robots.txt immediately after site was launched? In most cases, there is a cached version in search engines and it is necessary to wait a few days while cache will be updated.
