Potential weaponising of outbound / author links - add nofollow? #46

Ping textpattern/textpattern-curated-plugins-list#34

From https://github.com/linkforceio/textpattern-kbcc-converter/blob/main/SUBMIT.md in the connected repo

Goal: get author_uri: https://kryptoboersen.net rendered as a dofollow link on plugins.textpattern.com through the official curated plugin submission channel.

If a PR to that repo is not accepted, the documented fallback in the repo README is to announce the plugin in a new thread on the Textpattern support forum (Plugin discussion board) and/or contact the Textpattern plugins website maintainers to nominate it directly; both paths still point back to the same GitHub repo and the same author_uri.

If this is the case, it's shady - and it doesn't sit well with me…especially given the plugin author in this case is a crypto site running Wordpress.

Is it time to add nofollow to outbound links from plugins.textpattern.com?
