Since this is about your "About" section of the profile, I have to ask: Why are the links you add to your profile not clickable to people who view it? Is it because of spam? Or some other reason? I just found this always interesting to me.
- mcav 16y agoProbably due to spam, but I wish PG would just add links with rel=nofollow instead.
- jbooth 16y agoEh, rel=nofollow is kinda like those car stereos that won't play unless you put in a code. Doesn't stop people from ripping them off, they'll just figure out it's useless later.
- huhtenberg 16y agoJust put a minimum karma requirement in for links in the profile to be clickable.
- mcav 16y agoYeah, but we want to avoid search engines from following the links, not humans. Search engines respect nofollow.
- jbooth 16y agoAnd humans, or human-coded robots for that matter who are ignorant of nofollow will still post all kinds of blogspam, thinking it's effective.
