If it's obvious spam, then links definitely shouldn't be indexed; but as you rightfully put it, nor should such comments show up in the first place. So, I agree with you: given good spam filtering and moderation practices, why not let commenters benefit from participating in the community? Jason,

Which I have the nofollow attribute set on. I figure bottom line is if Google stop indexing relevant content then we all go back to Yahoo to find what we're searching for. :-) Well I don’t know if they are punishing those that follow links from comments but I know they are trying to crack down on the paid links.

But I have taken it off some of my blogs because I heard that Google was slapping the blogs that had this turned on. Have you heard anything about this? -Fred Jason,
