Limit SERP spam

Currently, there's the ability to limit displayed posts to recent ones, which is great.

Cosmos: Recent Posts

On this page, there's a dynamic link to only display newer ones than the ones displayed on the recent posts page:

Show newer posts than this

Unfortunately, this link is crawled by crawlers and ends up on search engine result pages. This is not ideal, because if I search for an uncommon keyword, where I can estimate the number of expected results, e.g. my last name, then I still get ~800 results, and the vast majority of them are links to Cosmos' "Show newer posts than this":

[deleted Geminispace.info search link for nordmeyer, which resulted in indexing the SERP because of a typo in geminispace.info/robots.txt]

Blocking `/~Cosmos/since` in robots.txt seems like a good idea.

Any thoughts on this?

Agreed, I'll add that to robots.txt. That should alleviate the issue at least.
