Setting "nofollow"
Setting "nofollow"
Seeing what spammers are capable of doing just to spam their links, I advise to add "nofollow" and/or to deactivate signatures for normal mortals.

Re: Setting "nofollow"
I agree. I have disabled viewing sigs because they are distracting. I never use one either.

Re: Setting "nofollow"
This is apparently not applied to the website entry in the profile (which is also shown next to each post).
Code: Select all
<li class="web-icon"><a href="http://www.example.org/" title="WWW: http://www.example.org/"><span>Website</span></a></li>

Re: Setting "nofollow"
I've fixed the post thing, I'm not sure where the template for the profile view is, though...

Re: Setting "nofollow"
Profiles are not accessible to unregistered users (and thus search crawlers) so this does not matter very much.
/edit:
I see, you made some exceptions for http://noscript.net/, http://hackademix.net/ and http://maone.net/.

No no-follow for my signature link (taken from another forum user here)?

Ahhh, so *that* explains why you were using another's signature!dhouwn wrote:No no-follow for my signature link (taken from another forum user here)?
Sorry to have questioned, but maybe letting us all know in advance next time? I was, uh,
A thousand pardons, Sire.
Side note: Just banned a new user who hadn't posted yet, because there was already a spam siglink in their profile. Meaning that their first post (and every other, if not caught immediately) would be spam. Have done that several times: user stays registered for about three or four minutes; their very first post gets the ban notice.
No harm in looking at new profiles, and after a while, ya sorta' get a feel for which new usernames are likely not to be legit.
Edit: Make that two within the past ten minutes. This one lasted six minutes.
