In response to a steadily increasing flow of bogus spam signups we have implemented the nofollow attribute value on links in user editable content.

This is intended to remove the incentive for linking to their pill peddling sites in an attempt to boost their search rankings.

We hope that this will only be necessary temporarily, and are still considering other approaches to stop these attacks.

Smart move. Those people are annoying. I resisted the urge to bring them to the admins attention because I knew you’d deal with them and nobody likes a backseat administrator ;-). Thank you.

Unfortunately the spamming has continued, we have temporarily enabled admin verification for new signups.
