Mods for vBulletin 4? No signature for 7 days or set posts count?

Well, well. I've been having a lot of problems with spam bots joining and spreading their dog links around in their signature. So, I was wondering does anyone know if there's a mod where you can't have a signature for 7 days? Or a post count limit in order to use the signatures?

Thanks

 

Looks like this should work

You don't need anything but a user group promotion with restricted permissions for the registered users group. Create a new usergroup based off your current registered user's group and edit to include full permissions. Go back and restrict signatures on the registered users group. You may also want to set "Can Edit Own Profile" and Can post vistior messages to No on the registered users group, this way noobs cannot add a spam homepage link or spam links on their profile.

Here's what you promotion should look like: (edit post number accordingly)


Also give a look at this vBulletin mod for anti-spam: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=248042 Been using it on two new boards and it's awesome. I'll be installing it on my big board shortly.

Thanks @Brandon and @Big Dan, I really appreciate it. Its time to slap these spammers in their place!
