Description
nofollow has largely been ineffective in preventing comment spam. Since most blogs specifically want their approved commenters to enjoy some "googlejuice", I think we should officially drop nofollow.

Maybe give the blog owners an option, disabled by default?
if they want it, they can have it... just don't see why. but people have reasons.
I think it should be disabled by default, and give users the option to enable it if they choose.
I am for this idea. There needs to be at least an option to disable it, now I have to edit the code manually each time I upgrade. I don't want the nofollow tag on my blog, it serves for nothing: Akismet stops spam and if a spam comment would get through people can still click the links.

I am +1 for this idea, as you will see if you read the Hackers mailing list archives.
