Anyone knows a mod to have all links posted in forums with the rel="nofollow" attribute?

mmmm, read this : http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=259827

and i found this :

add rel=nofollow to bbcode.php's make_clickable, i.e.:

Code:
$ret = preg_replace("...<a href=\"\\2\" target=\"_blank\">\\2</a>", $ret);

becomes:

Code:
$ret = preg_replace("...<a href=\"\\2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">\\2</a>", $ret);

Note it appears in two places. And a similar change in bbcode.tpl:

Code:
<a href="{URL}" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="postlink">{DESCRIPTION}</a>

Thanks Hitwalker,
The fisrt one from phpbb is pretty nice, cause you can exclude some domains from the nofollow, i will work on it.
I was almost sure the mod would affect bbcode.tpl., but that way also links to my own sites would be tagged LOL... nooo good Very Happy

PS: OK I know, that will not stop spammers, but at least make them life harder....
