Restricting URL's in first post

[j1mmy]

Most of the spam message I receive contact a URL in some form. At the moment I have to moderate all the new posts from new members.

This will probably save me majority of the time if I could disallow posts to be entered by new members which contain any form of a URL within their first post. So that will mean they will have to submit a normal post, and then their second post is allowed URLs.

Is there any way to do this would making code mod's?

You could try installing this mod: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=188141

Then go to the plugin manager, and for each of the plugins for that mod edit the code and change $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] to $vbulletin->userinfo['posts'].

Hmm, interesting. I'll give this a try. Do you know if it works on the later versions of vB?

I tried it on 3.8 and it seemed to work, although I didn't test it a lot.

Do I need to specify how many posts until a URL is allowed?
