Allow URLs in posts only after a minimum number of posts (to reduce spam)
Developer Last Online: Mar 2013 
With the recent increase in CAPTCHA-beating bots spamming their URLs, I have a feeling this mod will be very useful. Inspired by this vBulletin 2 plug-in.
To install, first upload "bitfield_restricturls.xml" to "includes/xml", and then just install restricturls.xml via the product manager in the AdminCP. The plug-in should automatically rebuild the bitfields cache - as long as you upload "bitfield_restricturls.xml" first. The amount of posts required is configurable in the usergroup manager, simply look for the group of settings with the header "Restrict URLs". The default is set to 5, however most bots tend to only make one or two spam posts at the most. For obvious reasons, moderators and admins don't have this restriction, but if you want to add it, you can remove the group id from "bitfield_restricturls.xml". If people find this useful, I may also update this to make an option so the posts containing URLs are set to be moderated rather than just completely restricted. Enjoy  Update (13th Dec): Added code to rebuild bitfields, just re-install the .xml file. Also fixed a major bug. If you already have this installed... re-install it! Note: This works by detecting the [url] tag and so it relies on vBulletin BBCode enabled and vBulletin to automatically parse URLs in to BBCode. If you have either of these disabled it will not work. You're free to do what you like with this code, although credit is appreciated, it's not required. Brought to you by eXaltic - vBulletin skins. Update: If you're looking for a more advanced version of this, I recommend this or this. Because of these, this plug-in will no longer be updated unless needed. I recommend you use either of the first 2 if you're looking for more control. Download Now Only licensed members can download files, Click Here for more information. Show Your Support

The mod is working great on 3.8.4 but sarahk's additional plugin to improve functionality did not work.

This does not appear to work for posts where the poster doesn't actually use any of the three bbcodes checked for (meaning they rely on the 'Automatically parse links in text' feature). So more advanced regex parsing is needed.
I'm running 3.8.7. No members have liked this post.
