I agree that Salon believes that not allowing links will reduce spam. It is the same reason they close the threads after a few days. There are, unfortunately, certain technical people that believe that spam is the worst evil that ever has been or ever will be inflicted upon the human race.
Mostly they are the tech equivalent of the plumber who is either too stupid or too lazy to fix your toilet and will tell you with a straight face that learning to crap in the woods is an acceptable solution.
Luckily, these people will die out as technology permeates society and the phrase "but I am the magic wizard with tech skillz +7" will finally be grounds for termination and a chorus of derisive laughter.
