@ChrisS If the user makes a little edit to an experienced user's links, but sneaks in a link to his own sites, is that link nofollowed?

Editing out really isn't necessary since new user's links have nofollow, they don't get indexed by search engines. This makes Astroturfing particularly annoying as there's no chance of the spammer accomplishing their goals.
