It's like wearing 2 rubbers. Anyways, shortly after this new protocol announced by Google, The folks at SixApart - developers of MovableType - announced the release of a plug-in that follows it. http://www.movabletype.org/news/2005/01/movable_type_nofollow_p.shtml I agree Dan - multiple levels of protection.

In the past 48 hours for example, my log shows 352 attempts at bots trying to submit spam through my comment form, of that, 3 got through. I agree with what you're saying, just think multiple levels of defense is the best way to go.. And about the google anti-spam news, that's great and all, but it doesn't actually /stop/ comment spam, just lowers the benefits for doing it. I don't think that will make the people who do it pull up any, but we can hope :) And exactly right that for some things in comments, I'd want them to be indexed by spiders.
