you should need X Karma to add a live link. Keep spammers away and reward dedicated users. plurkable.com/2008/06/16/plurk-adds-live-links-in-profiles/

  it works at 0 right now. I just think you'll find people signing up filling in a tone of links and never coming back. Not desirable.

  I am pretty sure if you make an ORIGINAL plurk with the K word in it you don't get credit. That would discourage negative behavior.

  Similarly with Goodmorning, goodnight. Imagine the bandwith required when 1 million people are on if everyone exchanged night time greets?

  he doesn't worry about it, it's an annoyance sometimes, and would NEVER go private to avoid spammers. It's they that need eradicating.
