the nofollow tag should be there for all external links.

Nofollow ruins part of what makes the internet (particularly searching) work.

Much better to simply stop the spammers from registering or being able to post links within X number of posts.

Then if it carries on remove the ability to add a sig or website url when you have less than 10 posts.

good idea !

On one of my sites with wordpress I have Aksimet installed which throws obvious spam comments into an archived folder that I can later delete. If the user is providing useful content and contributing to the conversation, I don't mind allowing signatures. It encourages more people to come to my site which increases my traffic and my content.

Sometimes even 1 post is enough but we found that 10 posts is an OK number. The jump from new member to member is nevertheless done manually as there is no software which can fully detect all variations of spam posts.

EDIT or at least have an option in the admincp to call
if
$signumber->posts =>$postnumber
print "You can now have a signiture"
elseif
$signumber->posts =< $postnumber
print " You need 20 posts to have a sig"

It will be implemented in a few days. Thanks for the suggestion.

Best leave it at 1.

Well I disagree. The difference is that it's sometimes hard to notice a bot posting one post. BUT! 5/10 posts from a new user in a matter of minutes you can pretty much tell it's spam.

Maybe it could be changed to +3 posts required though? Any update on adding 'nofollow' to external links?

Plus the website info for users needs to have the same restriction. Because if you check latest users since turning the 'pun_antispam' on they all add a website link instead of going for the signature. Spam is so annoying! sad

Can you please clear all signatures/website info for all user with under 3 posts please. This will clear 99% of the spam. Plus wont affect true community users as they will have over 3 posts. smile
