"I love the idea of comment love, but selectively Blogs can build a core group of community members, and they tend to be the most frequent people linking, at least in the blogging niche, possibly the design niche as well. I will soon be switching back from Disqus, and enabling a modified version of Lucia’s Linky Love, but it would be good to see if I can hack it further to enable Comment Love only for people who are core community members. I might also make the links only visible to core community members as well – no search value. I am a heavy moderator, most of the comments that are purely for backlinks get deleted, 70-90%, but I am also exploring the best way to monetize those commenters." - Andy Beard
