I think if the forum software limited new members to posting a link until they hit 25 posts, or whatever number is reasonable, that it would stop the spammers without inconveniencing mods or preventing new members from posting questions the day they register.
Even 5 would probably deter these guys. The looming question is what can the forum software really do, or can someone write something like a MIB that can invoke certain rules during the sign-up process?
yes, software can limit posting until a certain number of days after sign-up.
We're members of a photo site that does exactly that - read post only in portions of the site, no one can post images until 90 days and 500 posts.
