nofollow is a bad idea and I wish Google stopped using, Matt. You can't trust people saying "these are not bad guys".

Anyway, shouldn't getsatisfaction reward good customer service? You're just saying it's their problem to filter what's bad, for their your's users.

"nofollow is a bad idea and I wish Google stopped using, Matt."

Note that rel=nofollow is just a mechanism to indicate to search engines "Please don't give this link weight in computing reputation or search results." If you're talking about a website that is doing shady things, that's a perfect time to use the rel=nofollow attribute if you link to that website.

no why is there no rel=badsite tag to indicate that you dislike a page/website?
