You could have it connect to a spam IP black-list and have that plugin ban all those IP's and emails.

I have tried it before for another forum software some time ago and it is not very efficient. A lot of spammer will slip through. Whereas like this it is better. I use this on 2 very large forums that I help co-admin and we haven''t had a single spamming problem.
babjusi,
have you figured out my issue with your plugin yet?
I'm still able to post links with a username in a group that wasn't excluded from your plugin that has 0 prior posts. I set it so that user groups 3, 4, 8 were excluded and I'm posting links from the usergroup 2. ps- I set the post count to 5.

I don''t know what to tell you. You seem the only one to have this issue. The plugin works fine as it is supposed to.
still doesn't work on a clean test copy of mybb with absolutely 0 other plugins, threads or posts.
This was my favorite plugin when I using MyBB. I didn't have a single spam.
This seemed to allow a member to post a link on my board today as well?
Its all configured correctly as well?
I tested it last night with a test member and it seemed to work but today a member bypassed it somehow?
If the plugin is enabled and the user or his group were not excluded, his link did not occur in an excluded forum and he had not the minimum posts to be allowed to do it; then you should send me the link detail so it could be investigated...
Installing it and testing it right now also.. I will let you know if it gets bypassed.
I already banned a bunch of members for just being registered and advertising in their sigs.. backlinking on my site is a big no no !
