--- Comment #10 from Nathan Larson <[email protected]> ---
Nemo: http://www.wikirobot.net/wikibase_breakdown.aspx shows that one wiki
spamming site keeps track of the nofollow; but who knows how big of a player
that site and others that check nofollow are in the big scheme of things.

I don't really worry about boosting their pagerank through a link, by the way.
If that would be enough to significantly help us lose the war on spammers, then
that fight is already hopeless. Boosting the pagerank helps customers find them
but it also helps people looking to combat spam find them and learn about their
adversaries. 

I find it interesting to catch a glimpse of the face of evil up close and see
what they say, so as to try to understand their thinking. They analyze us; we
might benefit from analyzing them. Both sides are looking for weaknesses in the
other.

I don't know why this is listed as UNCONFIRMED; I was able to confirm what the
current default value is.
