@michaeltharrington Thanks for the insights. Is the rel="ugc" parameter to urls something universal that search engine crawlers understand themselves? I've not run into this before, but it sounds like a neat idea (until spammers find ways to override it eventually).
Thanks for what you all at Dev do to keep our conversations clean of the "spammy spamminess" (<- loved this!).
rel=ugc is a universal attribute value invented by Google. It works similar to rel=nofollow. Moz.com has a good blog post on that aspect of search engine marketing and trying to prevent spammers misusing our own marketing and development effort: How Google's Rel = Nofollow, Sponsored, & UGC Links Impact SEO

I'm a friendly, non-dev, cisgender guy from NC who enjoys playing music/making noise, hiking, eating veggies, and hanging out with my best friend/wife + our 3 kitties + 1 greyhound.
I see @ingosteinke already followed up with a great answer below. I love the Mozilla resources. Thanks Ingo! π
And Jan, I'm glad ya dig the "spammy spamminess" line. π The fight against spammers is both ridiculous and frustrating... I try to find the humor in it so as not too just seethe with rage all day. ππ€¬
