I wonder how many spammers intentionally talk in channels with logging in order to get free SEO

qyliss: IIRC whitequark's logger should handle this fine by adding nofollow
<samueldr>
but then, I don't actually know whether nofollow is even followed anymore by search crawlers
<samueldr>
I should probably prepare patch in a "redaction" feature to the logs which would transform the entry non-destructively
<samueldr>
(e.g. add an "redacted_message" field to the table, prefer showing it)
<qyliss>
I think nofollow is followed by crawlers
<qyliss>
I was having an issue a few months ago where the spectrum-os.org server was using way too much bandwidth, and it turned out to be because crawlers were downloading nixpkgs tarballs
<pie_>
*gasp* :D :P <qyliss> I think nofollow is followed by crawlers
<qyliss>
I added that to robots.txt and then it was fine\
<qyliss>
I assume nofollow would have been the same
<qyliss>
I wanted to patch cgit to make it add nofollow (to avoid having to rely on people setting up robots.txt) but never got round to it

yeah, I think from the few bits and bobs of SEO I remember, nofollow ends up being followed (crawled) by crawlers, but not included in the "actual" out links
<samueldr>
so it's not counting against or for, but is part of the global crawl
<samueldr>
really I care only about the former
<samueldr>
(I assume whitequark knows about the issue of spam on their logger, so I'm not too concerned)
