After all the description says

"Only users with this number of posts or less will be stopped from posting URL links."

Its obviously not 'stopping' anything, only sending them to mod queue.

Maybe you can provide both options to choose from? That'll be great at least.

I get what you're saying, but I have no personal use for the mod in it's original form.

When I tested the original mod live in the original version. I kept getting new members making posts like "I'm not allowed to post URL's until I hit 10 posts, so I'm posting this to get my post count up"

I only uploaded my revised version of it because it was requested in the thread for the old version.

Personally, I see no reason to moderate the word ipod, but delete/block a URL. Either one may be a valid post and chasing away a new member by not letting them make a valid post makes no sense to me.

And I'd much rather catch a spammer that joined my site through moderated posts so I can ban them instead of just blocking the URL and never knowing I have a spammer who may then go on to spam via PM in the background without me ever knowing.

I don't like the idea of giving a spammer a message that says "Hey, make 3 or 4 more good posts, and then we'll stop blocking your URLs and let you spam away after that"

The moderation que gives me the option to either ban the spammer, or allow a good post through and not discourage a new member from participating.


P.S. I will update the phrase in the settings screen to clarify.

I didn't really look to see what was not working in the original other than the secondary user groups. If that's the only problem you had with the original. Take a look at what I changed on the 1st line of the plugin Check4SPAM - Scan and moderate (newpost_process) to support secondary usergroups and apply that change to the original version.
