    Considering that it would be the best option then, atleast it will keep the spammers away. So when can we expect the changes?


    I thought about that, that someone one is going to mention that sooner or later. But you can go through my posts and check if any of it is spam or just to increase the post count.

    I just have a too much free time nowadays i guess...

    means i have a very mod-like thinking :p
    so when are you making me a mod as well?? haha "Joke"

    anyway, i am glad that you did that
    it will effect the traffic but more important is to make DP a spam-free site

    It's not going to affect traffic much... 76% of all our traffic are people coming in via Google searches. In the short term, it might cut 1% of the overall traffic if we could somehow tell all the spammers that their links are no good anymore, but we don't want that traffic anyway.

    Well its not about the old times but DP is badly affected by the spammers now. If you are a regular reader here you might be aware of that, I guess now atleast (after the no-follow) spammers will stay away.
