The Fall of Stack Overflow

I'm generally puzzled by Google's reluctance to do manual intervention in these cases. It's not like this is a secret. Just penalize the whole domain for 60 days every time a prominent site lies to the crawler.

If Google's support is any indication, Google doesn't like to involve humans in their processes. There probably isn't enough humans to do this manual intervention you propose.

There are very many sites where the content you see as a non-logged-in user is different from what you see if you have in your possession an all-important user cookie.
