Turn off the ability to add hyperlinks and use words instead? Is that what comments were intended for anyway? Seems a bit convoluted, but limiting comments, to comments, would be fairly natural. It'll get subverted anyway, but likely affects. A policy could say don't use hyperlinks, feel free to say where to go. Which would be an interesting policy to technically enforce, and still have the discretion to operate on.

I guess its more about trust in comments. I am reading every comment now with a sense of suspicion.
