The abovementioned piece of code is nice and cute and useful, but it has a few weaknesses. There's no need to discuss the ones where the link just gets past, as I'm sure you see them occasionally, and know exactly what can and can't be done. Which I don't.
But here's one I think you can do something about: If you go to a User Page or Profile, and look under 'Topics' and 'Latest Replies', you get the first part of the latest topics and replies.

New/low-rep users can't post links. They get removed and replaced with a message saying that new users can't post links.
We're aware of some weaknesses with this but it helps us curb spammers without
too
much impact on genuine users. I think it does its job well enough as for it not to be worth putting more dev time into really. Especially as users really help us mods by reporting things that are dodgy too.(##RESPBREAK##)16##DELIM##asakawa##DELIM##
