i some sites have done this already to tr and stop the spammers ,it seems to common nowadays, but before you can give a webaddress you have to have 30 plus posts , i cant see them putting in the effort into 30 posts just get there spam out

No you have to have 30 posts before you put URL in your posts

On a site I moderate, spam is going out of control. We have a 10post rule like most forums and the bots still manage to post spam. It's a nightmare!

I think 5-10 is enough...Honestly. But If it gets to a point of being that bad it could always be increased to whatever is needed.

I speak for all the staff when I say that we do try our best to stop spam as soon as possible, but we cannot watch the site 24/7
So fi you do see any spam, PM me or any of the staff and we will get onto it asap

He isn't criticizing our efforts, just giving suggestions! :)
I quite like it, actually. But I don't know if we can with our current board. :<

of course i'm not critizing your efforts and to be honest ye do a very good job. Its just an idea , i have seen a number of sites taken this option and its usually over 15 messages, as far as i know its just a little mod.
