Add `nofollow` Attribute to Links on Account Pages
Describe the problem to be solved
Hello,
We've recently seen an increase in spam accounts registering solely to add promotional links on their account pages.
I noticed that the HTML anchor (<a>) tags on these pages do not include the rel="nofollow" attribute. To help discourage abuse and prevent SEO manipulation by spammers, I strongly recommend adding rel="nofollow" to all user-submitted links on account profiles.
Thank you for considering this suggestion.

Although the rel="ugc" attribute is already in place, it's advisable to include rel="nofollow" as well for added protection against spam.
