Just as the title says - if a user has fewer than 15 posts, he will be unable to post a link or an image within a message.

This mod was originally done by Erwin for VB 2.x, and is ported with his kind permission.

It is a product. To install, simply import the xml.

(please note Andreas's fixes below if you have problems with scripts that post automatically)

There's a fix posted. Read the thread.

Absolutely wonderful product. Thank you!!

I went from getting 10 to 12 spam posts a day down to 0. Thats right, ZERO!

All I changed was the error message. I did not want them to know they needed 15 posts, or they would just post 15 fake messages in a row, so my error message just says that new users cant post links instead.

Works perfectly. Thank you Amy.

EDIT: Hmmm, apparently, it only happened once, with an admin-created account. Odd.

I've gotten the same error when I log in from just the url but if i had the /index.php at the end. That error isn't showing up.

noticed this works fine in 3.5.4, however it is not compatible with articlebot, i.e. even when the user has more than 15 posts, articlebot will not post anything.

I had to disable the hack so articlebot would work.

a fix to make it work with articlebot was posted in this thread

just to let you know, Amy, I've installed this on my test forum and a test account worked well with it - for my testing so far (10mins).

Great product!

/me clicks the install thingy.

Hey Amykhar, thanks for doing this add-on. I really liked the former version and this one helps me out a bunch as well. I did notice that the previous version we were using for vb3.0.x was a bit more sensitive, in that it blocked anything with a .com or .net mentioned in the post, in addition to http etc. Now, I'm getting URL spam that isn't actual links.

So, I added

Code:

or stristr($pagetext,'.net') or stristr($pagetext,'.com')

to the xml and it seems to work great.

Just wanted to add my suggestion, take care.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
