Considering how all of the comment smap I get around here consists of nothing but a link, I am now implementing the “no-follow” attribute on all links posted here on the blog. That means the search engines won’t follow the links, and the linker will not get their page rank increased.

So neener!

If that doesn’t stop the bullshit, I will simply disallow all links in the comments and be done with it. Seeing as how there is maybe one comment on this whole site with a legitimate link in it, I don’t think it will be much of an issue.

    I think I have my WP rigs set up with the “blacklist” words from the WP wiki, and it’s set to moderate anything with more than 1 link. Oh, and the “blacklist comments from open and insecure proxies” setting. So far, no spam.

    I have nofollow engaged and the spammers could care less.

    I have been having a huge problem with commentspammers too. I think we are going to have comments turn off a post after one month. I really hate that crap.
