Links in Visitor Messages Disabled

[Tyler]

I have removed the ability for links to be placed within messages on Visitor Messages pages.

Some spammers sign up with the sole intention of adding links somewhat covertly in their visitor message comments - often doing so in their own profile so others won't notice it.

This ability has been revoked now. Messages can still be placed within these areas, but the link BBCODE will not be an option anymore.

This should help cut down on spam a little bit and make moderator jobs slightly more manageable.

Good move Tyler! The only problem is:

1. I post links on my Visitor Messages page (Not spam).

Is there any-way you can put in effect the link disabler only to newbie members?

[Tyler]

I tried to do that, unfortunately the only way was to make it unavailable to everyone, or else available to everyone...

Great idea Tyler. I'm sure it will work out great.
