    The vast majority of spam threads are one post accounts who post a link with nothing else.

    Surely there is a script somewhere you could use that prevents those with say 50 posts or less from posting links?

    Not difficult problem is not difficult.

    Maybe there is. I'd say there most certainly is. But it's insanely easy to get around it.

    @CruelCoin dude, maybe, but we don't want to hinder legitimate users also, and as noted, spammers will just bypass this anyway somehow. Why not just - not respond? Not difficult to not respond, in fact, it's easier than responding..

    Doubt most legitimate users would feel that put out if they could post a link til after their first 50–100 posts though. (Though yeah, people could just not write back)
