I am working on an aggregator and like most people I don't allways have time to edit the news stories to remove bad links and spam. I have it setup to auto post.
So I have two options what do you all think. I am not that smart.
1.) Setup wordpress to automatically add nofollow on all post links.
I was looking at the filtering of comments and I may take another shot at number 1. I will post my results.
2.) Setup aggregator to automatically add posts with draft status instead of live. no idea how to do this?
Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Actually both would be useful for people.
Your comments are protect by nofollow via the default settings of WP v1.5, and spam bots can't publish blog posts. I must admit, I'm a little bit confused by your request. Are you suggesting that smart spam bots or malicious users may publish posts on your blog with spam links?
@Macmanx he is looking to nofollow post entries, not comments. As he is aggregating he wants to nofollow them.

What an interesting name; Mr. Ratzinger is it?
Anyway I don't think there is an available plugin. However it would be trivial to develop one. Search in wordpress include directory for nofollow and you will find the code you can use (the much abused preg_replace) in your plugin.
