Block Users from posting specific links.

[navjotjsingh]

I have a user on my forum who uses it to promote his site. As first measure I have used a mod to add rel="nofollow" to all links. But Can I block that user from posting some specific links like his site's link. So that he can never post his site's link on my site?

you can use censorship.

vBulletin Options > Censorship Options > Censored Words

I do the same thing but didn't want to use the standard censorship


instead I made a plugin at bbcode_parse_complete. here's the php

$text = eregi_replace("thesmokinggun","linkdisabled",$text);

you can block addtional sites by just adding another line to the plugin

doing it this way, you can replace the text instead of just *****
it's sometimes fun to switch it out for a different website.
