I maintain a website that archives usenet posts on a specific topic.
Inside most of the replies there are urls. Currently I do not transform this into links. Over 95% are on-topic urls, but ~5% might be unrelated and 0.5% of that might be from usenet spammers.
Will hit hurt or improve my Google ranking if I transform all urls into outbound links?
Because of the volume of urls it's near impossible to moderate this process.
