I have never understood why the website option has been included as it just encourages misuse.

We’ve read blog posts about the usefulness of a no follow.

I do monitor quality of comments too. You won’t find many “I agree” type of comments in this blog, unless it is a post which asks for users agreement / disagreement with the content.
However we still need to monitor Joe “My keyword laden phrase” Smith commenters also.

I think you would be better served to monitor the quality of your comments rather than the use of keywords in the name.

The problem is you suggest that people can add a link anyway and be up front about it, and that’s ok.

However I’ve seen tons of comments (using a real name) that just say “I agree” with a link in the comments. It seems this type of spam would be more objectionable.

Our forum was abused by spammers. It’s really annoying.

Hi!

We don’t use the name field except for our real names. We’d like to thank you for the plugin that’s make our blog, http://www.reapmoneyonline.com, more comment friendly.

We’ve read blog posts about the usefulness of a no follow. John Chow is even supposedly making a little money removing the no follow from paying commenters. We’re more inclined to follow your generosity.
