Original Content:
Well I am getting tired of kids making brand new accounts to come and spam the forums with phishers and malicious links. Yes, all experienced members know the links are bad, but I think something should be done to prevent some of the newer less experienced members from clicking these links if we haven't had the chance to warn them yet.

Example:

He has a June 2011 join date, obviously created his account just to post this link. 4 Post Count at time of posting it, and I didn't check but I'm sure the other 3 posts were something similar.

Solution:
Make it 25 post count to be able to post a link, or you must have been a registered member for at least 5 days/1 week before posting links. This isn't a permanent solution, but it will certainly slow down the amount of malicious links posted on fresh accounts. Any other ideas, please post them, but I think this is the simplest and easiest to implement as of right now.
