May be a silly question, but I'll give it a shot :).

On my forum app I would like to allow users with sufficiently high reputation display links to their home pages under every post - without the nofollow attribute (while lower rep users will have the nofollow)

I am happy to help the site contributors improve rankings of their own, but not sure if this can actually deteriorate the rank of the host (the site that hosts those links) - as potentially the same link to the user's home page may be peppered in the pages of the host.

What do you think? Thanks.

You don't leak rank when you link out to another site.

The rel="nofollow" link attribute was designed to ensure that you had some control over linking to sites/pages you couldn't vouch for, clearly in this scenario, you are vouching for the validity/relevance of that site/page.

The only "impact" you might experience is by the calculation of PageRank (PR) that is distributed - but if you're worrying about PageRank, then you're worrying about the wrong things...
