Note your 'comments' below and what URL is shown in the Top Commentator plugin. Good News Greg,

That means having to use a level of moderation similar to what I'd have to use for full dofollow in comments, something I don't want to do. I'm working on a solution where I can trust this plugin again, but, until I do, I have to leave it as nofollow. Hi Greg,

With no follow, much less people would leave a comment, thus whole idea of this plugin vanishes.
