Image link spam

I just came across several images on one of my forums that are appropriate themselves, but the links, which were only detectable with mouse over, led to questionable places. Irrelevant places. Spam.

Is there a way to disallow members from making their images into links so that if somebody ads a link, my moderators and I are going to see it as text?

Thanks

Is there a way I can search posts via vbulletin, phpmyadmin, or a custom script to find images with link tags around them so I can determine just how pervasive this issue might be?

Thanks

That is an excellent suggestion & would probably make a very good vBulletin feature or plugin.

We recently had an issue with affiliates using invisible images with links to cheat the affiliate program. Note: This result in banning from the program.

Hi,

I'm using this for users with less than 10 posts: Check4SPAM - Advanced SPAM Search & Destroy! - vBulletin.org Forum
They can insert images but not links or emails.

Stop newbies from posting URL's or email addresses - Restrict members by postcount from posting URL's or email addresses (includes setting for on/off). Does not stop users from posting images!

For signatures I'm using this: Kpt - Signature Limit - vBulletin.org Forum
