But I think you should look for the problem at the source. Why did wordpress for example set nofollow on comments by default in the last versions? A lot of bloggers just write and aren't really interested in the web technologies behind it, so not all know about nofollow. Also lots of people get fooled by some comment spam techniques and I think they should be taught how to really weed out spam before teaching them how to deactivate nofollow.
