Hotlinks by commenters

Is there a way for commenters to add hotlinks? I tried using html anchor tags, and I tried just pasting the thread in place. No hot link. What's up? Do you find this valuable?    
Keyword tags: None (edit keyword tags)

This might be a nice feature, but it comes at a very high price. It becomes link spammer heaven. If spammers are posting links, the comment section becomes completely unusable. Do you find this valuable?

Even if it's a private wiki? Ours is private- do you know of a way to switch this option on? Do you find this valuable?

Links to the same wiki in a comment are hot. Links outside of the wiki are not. I agree that this restriction makes less sense on Private wikis, but there's no way to guarantee that that wiki will always stay Private. Do you find this valuable?
