    I find the do-follow move really appropriate as it is a good way to thank recurent commenters for the time and effort they put into commenting on your blog. On the other hand, if you get spotted, comment-spammers will overflow you with non-consistant comments.
    Maybe a good thing to do is setting the links to DOfollow but not to advertise about it. This way you reward people who make comment without the hope to get backlinks…

    Hello all,
    I’m reading from the top link sites that
    keywords and links involving your site
    in the comment is rude and spam.
    In addition, this is true for the name
    of person posting the comment,
    but I don’t understand why that is true
    for the name.

    I completely agree with the dofollow switch off part (along with the rest).

    It is not rocket science to type out a simple ‘sensible’ comment. Not only do you get to interact, but also a link back.. !
