Not allowing Google to read post on your forum and list them in search results just in case someone places spamming links to get you website penalized0

Still not sure what you mean (and I run forums elsewhere).
Do you mean if a member of your forum placed spamming links, Google would penalize you?0 -

Surely it would be better to address the spam before it became a problem? Using captcha's or moderators for example.
If your forum has a lot of spam, then yes Google will penalise you, only because forums with a lot of spam in them have very little that anyone searching would want to look at in the first place.Conjugating the verb 'to be":
