I know that is real tedious but I have found out once the Proxy ip hack is installed, the amount of spammers decreased substantially.

Hope that helped

yea, but newer versions of vBulletin have

'TypePad Anti-Spam Service'

available to turn on for free in vBulletin Options .

theres no way of not allowing links in posts, there is in profile, signature etc etc, but not posts.

That is sooo stupid that this isnt available yet via Usergroup Options.. We can turn off all the other spamming preferences per usergroup except that option. I was able to turn off PM'ing , posting Sigs, Emailing others , posting visitor messages....the only one left is not allowing posting of links in messages. (JUST for that penalized usergroup)

That usergroup I made is SPECIFICALLY for spammers...they get promoted to the good usergroup once they have 5 or more good posts.

vbulletin should of enabled this years ago....now I have to look around for another mod JUST to prevent members from posting links in posts per usergroup.

To help me keep my sanity, could someone just point me in the right direction for a small mod that gives a group permission just to disable links in posts ?

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