What I then did was to install the Plugin Cyb - Advanced Permissions Based on Post Count - vBulletin.org Forum and, IF, anyone manages to post then are unable to post a live link. This has options to set up which means that the poster has to have posted 10 times before they can post a live link, or 3 or 4 or whatever. You can select different usergroups to be restricted, so that some usergroups can still post live links. I have set up an usergroup which is not selectabe on my forum board as not being restricted and when I am happy that they are kosher I transfer these users to this new group.
