Probably 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.
