Allow URLs in posts only after a minimum number of posts (to reduce spam)

I did this mini-hack to reduce the amount of spammers and newbie mistakes at my forums. Most of the newbies at my site do not read the rules, and in their enthusiasm post links back to their own sites or forums.

I have made it so that members need to have a minimum number of posts before they can post URLs to website. On my site I've set it to 15, but you can set it to whatever you like. If a member has less than the required amount of posts, when they try to post they get redirected to an error page, telling them that they need to have a minimum amount of posts before they can post links in their post. In my error message, I also tell them to post links to their own site only in our forum designated for website links.

Update: Version 1.1 - fixed up a loophole. Just replace the old code with the new.
Version 2.0 - tidied up the code, added code to editpost.php, made it easier to change the variable


Anyway, installation is a breeze. The installation text file is below:

I am sorry to say I am at a total loss on this one. It is weird...If I add the code to the two of the files (editpost.php and newreply.php)...they all produce...

Parse error: parse error in /home/avsforum/www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/editpost.php on line 307

...or the like. In this case, line 307 is the last line in the file.

This is a great hack and needed on AVS Forum...I just can not seem to figure out why this is happening. ver 2.2.8

Help?

NOTE....In your instructions for editpost.php and newreply.php you have forgot your closing } for the IF statment. Thus the above error.

I'd install this if it was ported to vB3.x.x. If anyone here has it running on their site how effectively has it helped to reduce spamming?
