<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So I assume it's customizable. Best ask your questions to GVectors pre-sales team directly though.</p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi @stocksforum,</p><p>It's hard to filter or add control to links. Currently there is a good solution in wpForo Span Control. It sets all new topics and posts unapproved if it finds some links in posts.It works for New registered users and you can control the level of new registered users in Dashboard &gt; Forums &gt; Tools admin page. For example you can set users is new till the 5th post.</p><p>If you need to control links for old members you should find some developer and ask to write some code for that. That code can use wpForo content filter hooks and filter links. The main content filter hook are these:</p><ul><li>wpforo_content_before</li><li>wpforo_content</li><li>wpforo_content_after</li></ul>]]></content:encoded>
