New members cannot post links

I have just joined and the first post I made I found out that no links could be used. I had to cut and paste a lot of text to each post I made because of this but I understand that you needed to put the feature in because of spam. So long as the poor ppl in this forum can put up with my long posts, untill I can post links.

But that is the point. ;) We want your words, your ideas and your thoughts to read and reply to, not someone elses...

Q
 
I said:
We've recently been targeted by a persistent Russian spammer, who keeps joining to post links for sites, sometimes of an adult nature.

I've therefore taken the proactive step of installing a script that will prevent new members from being able to post links until they have made more than 10 posts.

This will probably be annoying to newer members - smilies are sometimes accidently treated as links - but we need to stop this spamming problem before it gets any worse.

Any questions, feel free to ask.

I don't want to make it too difficult for new members - and welcome to CR, timyone. :)
