Been reading up a bit on "nofollow" links. I am not completely sure if MyBB has any builtin features to make some links "nofollow", but it might help discourage the spambots if the links they post don't do anything.
For information about what "nofollow links" are, see this article: https://backlinko.com/nofollow-link
Or you can google it, lots of good articles about it.
I suggest checking what builtin features and options might be available in MyBB by default first. Reading a bit of the MyBB GitHub, it sounds like there might be a user/group permission that can enable nofollow links in signatures or something.
I found one MyBB plugin that has to do with nofollow. And it should work for MyBB v1.8.x, which I assume we are on MyBB v1.8.21 as that is the current latest version.
See: https://community.mybb.com/mods.php?action=view&pid=562
I think we most of all want links in profiles and signatures to have nofollow, actual post links are easier to clean up.
Anyone here know more about this?
