Glad to hear that Play_Bach. Your community is different than many others who have a much more difficult decision to make.

I personally like the strategy where links in user's posts get nofollow until they become a trusted member of a community. After that they get their nofollows removed. That is a legitimate and reasonable use of nofollow as it was defined when introduced.

That's not the point of this thread. This discussion is about using nofollow on advertising links. Few argued with the original intent of nofollow. It's Google's recent illegitimate re-purposing of nofollow to discourage use of a competitive advertising medium that is at contention here.
