The markdown filter used by the forum does not set a rel="nofollow" attribute on user links. This is fine for a small internal forum, but if opened up to the world it allows spammers to increase their page rank in search engines by posting links to their sites. More on nofollow: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nofollow I personally replaced markdown by urlize and linebreaks, because it's easier to understand by most users. Urlize does add this attribute by default. |
