Hi

This is a terrific hack. I was getting over 100 spam posts a day, and this stopped them dead in their tracks. The spammers do everything automatically, so you don't really have to worry about them slipping a post by the moderators and then editing it later - too much bother for them.

On my sites, I do get lots of posts from people who want to show images of things for evaluation, so I edited out the blocks to the strings, "www." and "http". I just block anything with "[url" or "[URL" from a new user. Since the software automatically appends that to any URL that starts with http:// or with www., but not to things that start with [img], it lets through the stuff I want to let through, blocks the trash.

Many, many thanks.
