Things like this make nofollow more attractive all the time. Has
there ever been any discussion on perhaps allowing a white-list for
non-spam sites that we won't no-follow? This would be useful for
wikis who don't want to kill all their externals with no-follow.
Or at least a second blacklist for sites that can be linked to but will
have rel="nofollow" applied.
Also, shouldn't we enable nofollow for talk pages? For example, if this
discussion had been on a talk page, those example links above would now
be indexed by search engines and thus help the spammers.
