I think i'll certainly use that, especially for people who consequently place good comments. There is plugin that allows you to dofollow everyone who has placed more than, say, 10 comments, but i've heard of stories that spammers simply lookup that threshold, and then start spamming. So a VERY selective dofollow plugin probably is a good idea :)<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('372','Ramon Eijkemans'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('372','Ramon Eijkemans','@Mert: good tip.

By default i nofollow but that does not mean that i don't WANT to give linkjuice. It's just that i want to keep it under my control. That is why i like the vision of my colleague: if a commenter writes good stuff, i'll give hem/her linklove in a post (that sounds a bit odd, wbut you know what i mean ;))<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('369','Ramon Eijkemans'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('369','Ramon Eijkemans','I\'m thinking about writing a \'blog policy\' here.

Who loves spammers? No one. They are the side effect on the internet. On one of my Wordpress powered blogs I used to get tons of spam. Finally, I ended up with premoderation of comments with 2 or more links and a black list of stop words. Comments that contain let's call them "adult" and "farmacy" words, are deleted automatically. Comments with stop words that may somehow be relevant to the theme of the blog, are suspended for moderation.

There are ways to automate nofollowing deadends with a simple plugin.
