I replaced some code in the individual archive template to not link to people's URL's anymore. The site is getting spammed to death by comment spammers, and I can't keep up, even with using the MT blacklist plugin.

I changed this tag

MTCommentAuthorLink spam_protect="1"

to

MTCommentAuthorLink spam_protect="1" show_url="0"

So the name now links to the email, not the URL. I am wondering if I should show a non-clickable version of the URL? If it doesn't increase pagerank of the spammers I'd do it.
