u're right, it's annoying to see spam poster combined with user who ask for help on the forum but now it's clean. ross can help user better without he had to delete spam poster anymore. too much spam poster could decrease user trust to oxwall. having a nofollow link also help a lot, you can make exception on your link plugins but on overall oxwall should implement nofollow even on newsfeed who would appears on user profile if user updating their status. i have to say that because not only oxwall main site who get spam poster, oxwall user who doesnt know how to run a website also vulnerable for spam because oxwall software still using dofollow on newfeed. or oxwall made an option for user who use oxwall software to choose between sitewide nofollow or dofollow for link out. i think it is easy for oxwall developer to implement that "option" because i have that "option" on other software, not only protect oxwall main site but also oxwall user from spam, even though a lot of spam attacking oxwall user site as long as that link is nofollow search engine will ignored

thank you Den :))
