People cheating Google. They post links on my FP discussion.

What can I do about this?

Somebody(s) posts messages on my FP discussion that contain nothing
but links. They obviously want web crawlers to find the links, thereby
increasing the search engine status of their linked-to pages.

Is there a technical way to combat this without having to just delete
them the posts?

Example

There is but I'm not sure you can do anything within the FP discussion.
1/ use google's redirector, http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=url this means
the link is still accessible but it won't count toward PR of the offending
site
2/ add nofollow to all links <a href="http://site.com" rel="nofollow">
Google MSN and yahoo obey nofollow so again the offending site won't get any
benifit from their link.

Ideally you'd want to use a proper forum, there's plenty of free ones out
there.

I would like to switch to a phpBB forum but I don't have time right
now to do the cut/paste.

If there were a software way to convert the content I would do it
right away.
