Forum software suggestion

I frequent a Blackberry tech support forum that also uses custom forum software. One of their very nice anti-spam features is that any post containing links (either in the body or in the sig) is rejected unless/until the poster has made at least ten posts. Most spammers won't go the bother of accumulating the needed post count, and the few who do are so obviously padding their count it's trivially easy to spot and delete them.

Just a thought.

Spinny,

While that sounds like a good idea, we frequently ask new folks with problems to post a link to the problem.
