Brief Description:Implement rel="nofollow" for links in reply and trackback
Status:Added to app

Details
This is a technique proposed by Google to discourage comment spam.

See here for info: http://www.google.com/googleblog/2005/01/preventing-comment-spam.html

Ideally, all visitor-created links should get the rel="nofollow" attribute, but it would be cool if the blog owner had the option to remove the attribute after reviewing the post.
