Hi, rather I explain my question with a practical example ๐Ÿ™‚

Some1 just introduce himself on my forum putting a link to their website which also containts a forum... I think you can already see where I come from and where I want to arrive...

While on this case, it's not really harming me, or so I think. For obvious reasons neither helps, that's for sure...

As the person has introduced himself correctly, with nice manners etc, I just don't want to simply edit his posts and delete his website link...

QUESTION:

Is there a way I could prevent this from happening in the future other than the posts having to receive moderation from me before showing up?

This way nobody could complain I took their website off, it will not be able to be added so end of the argument before it start, full stop ๐Ÿ™‚

*Of course, even if there is a solution it will always be a drawback which is that will prevent other 100% genuine, useful links to be added to the forum but I suppose will have to be one way or the other, correct? I add this last paragraph just in case, you, being very experienced with forums have even a "much better perfect solution" that not allowing links at all

Thanks in advance ๐Ÿ™‚ย  ย

@jesus,

I'm trying to understand you. Are you looking for a feature that will filter and remove users links from the post content automatically?

In case you want to say thank you !)
We'd really appreciate and be thankful if you leave a good review on plugin page. This is the best way to say thank you to this project and support team.

Basically yes Robert ๐Ÿ™‚

What do you personally think about it as an user point of view?

Im not really 100% sure I want to do this but I think YES, otherwise its quite easy for people to "take advantage of you" in a way if you know what I mean, correct?

@jesus,

The feature exists. You can set the number of minimum approved posts a user must have to be able to post a link. This option will remove links automatically from the user posts if the user has less approved posts. So you can allow post links for users who have already 1 or 10 approved posts, and you can trust such users. The option is located in Dashboard > Forums > Tools > Antispam Tab:

In case you want to say thank you !)

Thanks Robert, but for that I have to yes or yes first turn on the option that posts must be manually moderated, correct?

@jesus,

No, that option doesn't have any relation to removing the links.
