You'll need to block the SEOMoz crawler in your robots.txt file.  Edit the file and insert this bit of code:

User-Agent: rogerbot Allow: /
Disallow: /forum/

If that doesn't work, you might want to add a Wildcard too, making it:

Disallow: *****/forum/

If you're not too sure about editing the robots.txt file, then it might be an idea to check the SEOMoz guide: http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/robotstxt - if you're really unsure, it's best to get someone else to do it for you, as you don't want to block all of your site to all of the crawlers

Hope this helps
