SEOChat removes rel=nofollow off the users’ sigs

I haven’t been to SEOChat since the mass exodus happened after the owners places “nofollow” on all the signature links. (For those unaware, this whole story is not so much about rel=”nofollow” on the links that are hard enough to earn anyway – you need to be registered for at least 3 months and make at least 100 posts to be able to have a sig – as it is about the owners turning into dictators – see it all covered in detail on Randfish’s blog). Well, today while checking my stats I noticed someone coming to my blog from there – I am still a registered member and haven’t removed my signature or done anything else destructive there. Out of curiosity I followed the backlink and lo and behold – the darbed rel=”nofollow” is taken off the links in the signatures… Something tells me though it wouldn’t make people return in masses…

AN UPDATE: As far as I know (and this has been proved once again just this very minute), despite the previous attempt of the forum owners to stop the forum from falling apart by un-banning the banned users, people are still getting banned at every whim of the admin, and changes are still made without any discussion with the community. Oh well…
