Stop Spam Links 1.2 Gold
As of 3.8 this mod seems to have lost some/all of it's functionality depending on your vb settings. If anyone wishes to build on this mod, please feel free to as I do not have the time anymore.
What does this hack do?
This hack will replace a users entire post with a predefined message that you can edit in the adminCP should the user's post contain a TLD such as .de .com etc. This will only affect people in usergroups of your choice. By default only usergroup 1 is selected (Meaning Guests).
If you enter a usergroup ID, those user's will never be able to post links as long as they are a member of that group.
If the user's usergroup ID is not entered, then you can use a minimum postcount value which all users need to meet in order to post links.
----------------------------
Example: You enter usergroupID 2 (registered members). All registered members will not be able to post links.
You enter 5 for the postcount. Registered members will not be able to post links. Everyone else will need 5 posts before they can post links.
-----------------------------
Example2: You enter 1 for usergroupID (guests). No guest will be able to post links.
You enter 5 for the postcount. Everyone, except for guests, will need 5 posts before they can post links. Guests will never be able to.

No. The internal VB smilies are actually links to /images/smilies/somesmiley.gif, which Stop Spam Links is picking up as spam link because our forums are hosted on a .com domain.
Is there any way to set an exclude list of addresses to be ignored?

Well, like I mentioned above, I tested this on my site and using smilies in the post does not trigger the stop spam links. Not sure why it's a problem for you.
When the user creates a new thread
When the user edits a post (quick & advanced)
When the user quotes or replies to a thread
When the user Creates or Replies to a PM
When the user Previews a post
The more I read about this MOD, the better it looks. Is there anyway for it to check emails for TLD's as well, or is that planned for a future release perhaps?
This MOD seems to have every advantage I can think of. Only disadvantage is the user's post is lost when the tripwire goes off.(vs. going into a moderation que for review/approval) Thus if a new user spent a lot of time typing up a first-new-post up, they'll lose it all...Am I correct in that assumption?
yes, unfortunately that's the downside. Whatever you put in the no spam message is what will apppear if they try to add links and they have not met the min post req.
Warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Empty delimiter. in /newreply.php(287) : eval()'d code on line 11
you have whitespace at the end of the list of terms, or two consecutive commas.
btw, just wanted to mention that i have changed the mod so that a space is used as delimeter instead of comma and i also increased the size of the text boxes in ACP.
