I don't like the feature rel="nofollow" (General)

by Auge βŒ‚, (191 days ago) @ Andi

you are right I apologize.

There's no need to apologise.

Because I do like the feature of rel="nofollow" I opened an issue on Github to discuss it last year. In the end we (Micha and me) disagreed about the idea.

I don't follow Micha's equation of the ineffectiveness of rel="nofollow" for spam prevention and video surveillance for crime prevention in his latest posting of the discussion. Both may be true in themselves, but rel="nofollow" is not about spam prevention, it's about making the goal of spam to do SEO ineffective.

As my opinion is only mine and not that of those, involved in the project, we have no plans to implement the feature. If it were ever to happen, it would be a feature that could be switched on and off.

TschΓΆ, Auge
