Members with fewer that 10 posts cannot update their profile with a website.
I'll expand this to exclude the other user registration fields if spammers try to use those for spam.
That should slow them down for awhile. _________________

We shall see how it works. I think it will take away the motivation for a spammer to sign up to just leave their website link.
This will force them the to confirm registration and actually make a post if they want to spam us. _________________

It seems kinda silly to join, just to leave a link in their member info. How many are gonna go look at it? You, of course, to see where it goes but the majority of us don't give much of a hoot about what's in someone's profile. _________________

I think you'd be surprised on how many hits a link like that can generate. Not necessarily here, but on larger, more popular sites. I guess if you hit enough of the smaller sites, it's worth it.. _________________

Pretty clever GW. That should foil all the bots and make it too much trouble for others.
By the way, I always check out the profile of all new members, but like you I won't click on their web link until I see it in the status bar and then still might not go there. _________________ RunnerBiker ¿
