Serendipity Forums

Hello Everyone. Old Joomla and WP user here.
It's not a bug. But a suggestion. Coudn't be more comfortable and safe to have added NOFOLLOW attribute to all comments having website address field?
Maybe as a option in admin panel?
Lots of spammers can potentially visit S9y showcase and go to any of your sites to add a comment just for nice dofollow backlink.

Hey, nofollow is a bit hard given that links from commenters that pass the anti-spam measures are usually wanted, their links valid.

But there is rel="ugc", which is exactly for this situation. Search engines can use that as hint that the links might be valid, might be spammy. Though even then, Google recommend to remove that attribute for trustworthy contributors (at https://developers.google.com/search/do ... ound-links). But we don't really have that option, if the commenters are not registered.

https://github.com/s9y/Serendipity/blob ... mments.tpl is the likely template to modify (depending on your theme) if you wanted to change this in your blog.
