Two things. First, either you get the spam links or you see a default message. Either way, this is filling up your forums. Me personally, I'd rather see this message posted. I get a smile on my face when the spammer realizes he's been had. Second, set your post count to higher and don't tell 'em what it is. That will eliminate that problem. Real members will understand that setting a higher post count to disable links is actually a good thing.
