I would really really appreciate this mod for the title too. My main concern is it is only a matter of time until spammers realise that they can put URL or spam words in title, they only want somewhere to stick this and any box where they can enter information serves this purpose. Arguably even the user name e.g.:
User:
www.visitmysite.com
Title: Legitimate text
Post: Legitimate Text
Effectively, for this mod to be spam proof, I feel all 3 components would need to be protected. One other thing that would be amazing (sry - I am really not requesting, just suggesting of something that will improve) is if you can moderate users based on names as an extension of this.
I have many users setting up accounts with swear words and the like as usernames and this appears in the "most recent joiners" list at the bottom and looks very bad - I am sure you can use your imagination to think of the types of names that appear there :-).
The biggest part of this is perception, this is the best hack out there by far and I have installed, I feel a few more mods will prevent even a whiff of spam getting through and hopefully consign spammers to getting a real job!.
NB, I also experienced the delimiter and unable to add cookies errors when we did a clean install of vBulletin. We had to install this several times, can't remember how my developer got working in the end.
Kind Regards (and thanks for the best mod on this forum),
