I often see posts with links with "no follow" added in , by a mod, I presume. I initially thought that invalidated the link but subsequently found out that this is not the case. What is the significance/purpose of these additions?

It has Something to do with Search Engine Optimization.(SEO)
If it's
no follow
it probably prevents Bots from utilizing them.
Perhaps a Technique to demotivate Spam by Delinking it so No search result gains can be attained.
ps - something like that, i donno, lol.
