>I would argue the spam wouldn't be an issue if you used nofollow tags.

I can't imagine why anyone would believe that. Stupid spammers would keep spamming, because they were still using e-books they bought in 1999 and didn't know any better. Less stupid spammers would keep spamming because they knew that even though dmoz.org used nofollow, AOL and Google didn't. And the more clever spammers would keep spamming because they realize that things change, and who knows what might start working tomorrow?

I can't imagine any spammer stupid enough to stop spamming just because dmoz.org used nofollow, but yet bright enough to NOTICE dmoz.org used nofollow and realize what nofollow meant.
