Google announced today the introduction of the REL tag which aims to make sure spammers do not benefit in search engine rankings by flooding sites with comment spam.

I have a couple of clients who are using akocomment and are getting hammered with comment spam.
I am sure Arthur will update his component quickly - but for some of you who are getting killed by comment spam and want to take some action quickly...
Below is a change to make in order to modify the output of the bbcode.
The bbcode mod - in functions.akocomment.php file
Around line 25 - currently reads
$message = preg_replace("#\[url\](http://)?(.*?)\[/url\]#si", "<A HREF=\"http://\\2\" TARGET=\"_blank\">\\2</A>", $message);
change to:
$message = preg_replace("#\[url\](http://)?(.*?)\[/url\]#si", "<A HREF=\"http://\\2\" TARGET=\"_blank\" REL=\"nofollow\">\\2</A>", $message);
Around line 26 - currently reads
$message = preg_replace("#\[url=(http://)?(.*?)\](.*?)\[/url\]#si", "<A HREF=\"http://\\2\" TARGET=\"_blank\">\\3</A>", $message);
change to:
$message = preg_replace("#\[url=(http://)?(.*?)\](.*?)\[/url\]#si", "<A HREF=\"http://\\2\" TARGET=\"_blank\" REL=\"nofollow\">\\3</A>", $message);
You should be all patched up then on the bbcode side.
Hope this helps
