You know, I think that tax and spammers top my list of most hated things to ever grace this planet.
I think that once I have finished programming my current project that I am gonna have to create a plugin for phpbb2 that totally fucks up your day.
A nice quick bit of code that if it finds a URL in a post, it opens the page and checks all readable items and if it finds selected words... booom.. post fails and your account is blocked and a notification is sent to admins including the offending URL.
Even with your encoded Javascript routines (that have attempted to hide the majority of the displayed items) my plugin would be successful as you have not and cannot hide enough to stop this idea working.
Its really as simple as using something like "fopen($post_url, "r");" and then cache the page into a string, and then "if (stripos($cache, $keywords) { //mysql query to block account } I can get around any header(locations) that you use to redirect also (purely based on the fact that if the url posted leads to a page that redirects... you get blocked), so don't think that stops anything.
So, stop posting spam on these boards or very soon there will be an easy to install phpbb2 mod that stops you on ALL boards.
Nuff said

Actually, Sbando or NoProblemo...
Would a bit of code that strips HTML and links from posts be useful to you. I could create a phpbb2 mod that blocks any URL's being posted by people who have not posted a set amount of posts.. It can also be offset by user type so that "special accounts" can post links without needing to have hit the threshold amount of posts required.
The required post limit can be something you can change in the admin panel.
Example..
Poster 1 has posted 212 posts. He/she adds a URL Link to their post and it works fine and everyone can use it. This is based on the fact that because he has posted 212 posts, it can be assumed he is not a trolling spammer.
Poster 2 signs up and is a dick head spammer trying to make people end up on shite websites selling shit. He has posted nothing so far. He posts his big fuck off page of links only to have them all removed during the posting leaving a blank page (or a page saying "I tried to spam everyone on Eurobabeindex forums. Here is my email address - (email address). Please spam me instead!!!")
If you want this, I can write this next week and mail to Frigo with install info.

Moved this one over here because Steve brings up an excellent idea IMHO.
Maybe a little bit too drastical, but at least interesting.

I think there are hacks for that already available on the Web, but let's Nop decide.
