Anti SPAM efforts

Users that have not played Foldit should no longer be able to post URLs anywhere on the site, including their profiles. At least that's the idea behind the Antispam module that I wrote and installed. Please let me know if you see any spam URLs anywhere. It would imply a bug in my code. thanks.

we could be very strict about posting links (ie after >15), but make sure that any newbie can post to ask questions (without links).

maybe if they have to play Foldit that much before posting links they will change their spammer ways ;-)

How about a CAPTCHA-confirmation not only when posting links, but also when new threads are opened or the user writes submits his very first text?
