New users get a the " Error in posting: You are not allowed to post mr. spammer. Please register and be a normal user not spammer. Write some normal posts and maybe after that the admin will give you the right to post what you want now, if not please contact support at: http://support.free-forum.net " error message as they try to post link urls.

For me, as an forumadmin, its not possible to deactivate this spam protection, that allows posting url links on the forums after the 2nd userentry only.

It seems to be an php code protection.

Please unlock this protection for me. (Look into Private Message, dear Mr Support for site details)

Hello !
This is a php code created by me, and has great success eliminated all most all spam.
I am sorry, but i can not deactivate for only one forum. Please create a topic where new users will make few posts and then , they can use your forum. In fact it is normal that a new user must say something , other than links.

Good day,
youmust have 5+ posts

[Support]

No !
A new user (even he is admin) must have 2 or 3 posts without any link before he can post links. And i think it is normal when you are a new user. Not, after you register -> post links.

Thanks !
Support

to me it's the same, this means that my users are a little angry.

Hello !

I do not see any reason to have the users angry as long they are not spammers. I think it is extremely normal for a user on a forum to make 2-3 posts without any links first and then he can post links.

As for you as an admin, i think it is very good because you do not see so much spam posts and you have to delete them every day. Our filters work very well and i am really sorry for only a few users that do not respect this rule, and they wish to post a lot of links from the start.

Thank you for understanding.

Normal, you say?
That pretty much depends on what kind of forum you're talking about... I'm a member of freeil2modding.free-forum.net and, as the name suggests, it's a modding forum where almost every new post contains a link: mods, skins, research data...
Maybe it would be useful to tell new users that they have to post a few posts without links to be able to post links. Would have saved me a few days of bothering my admins with the question why I can't post my work...
