OK, perhaps I'm dense. I checked out VSA's permissions hack...and compared it with this hack. It's true that they are not identical. But are the following differences accurate?

This hack limits the posting of links on a per usergroup basis.

The other hack limits posting of links (in addition to 16 other options) on a per usergroup and per forum basis.

So if we want something simple, go with this hack. If we want something more complex go with the other.

Is this a fair assessment?

I have been looking for this for a long time, tagged and will be installed when in office. I have vbstopforum spam and this will kill the ones that gets through. Thanks.

will this add on work for signatures too

I suggest you turn off signatures for the same usergroup you run this mod on.

New users enter one usergroup with restrictions (no sigs, no links). After X posts they got promoted to a normal usergroup.

You are welcome :)

I don''t know what that other mod does as I am not familiar with it. But what you said about my mod, it is correct.

Nope. This is for posts only.

Glad to see that it came in handy to you as well.

Just tried this on 4.0.6

When I enter a new post I get the following error if I enter a link from a user who can't post them:

Errors
The following errors occurred with your submission
This forum requires that you wait 30 seconds between posts. Please try again in 30 seconds.

I have made sure I wasn't posting too quickly!

If I try to edit a link into a post I get the correct error message. Anyone else had this?

can this mod be ported to 3.8.x plz

I use the "Prevent Spam" plugin, and I added [url to the list of spam words - this seems to be working to stop users from posting urls.

This is the mod what exactly that I wanted! Thank you borbole. Now, can you tell me how can I edit that error message? I need to edit: "An error has occurred hacktutors! You are not allowed to post links."

I support all my mods at their threads at my forum :)
