The Spam module can stop posts which contain links - in fact it does it in a semi-intelligent way too... Most spam posts contain multiple links to the same domain. You can configure the spam module to block posts with "x" links overall and "y" links to the same domain. You can also blacklist links, etc from it too.

I assume your module is more "lightweight" than the spam module?

My module is indeed more lightweight.
But it's not my goal to duplicate functionality from another module into a lightweight version of that module. (users/developers don't need more simular modules to choose from.. This is also stated on a drupal documentation page Join forces with others.)

So, I just made a feature request for the spam module which can make my module needless.

ps: I didn't respond to your question sooner because I couldn't (I was on holliday).

Being on holiday is no excuse for neglecting your issue queue! ;-) hehe (JOKE!)

Cheers for the response... I just thought I'd let you know about the Spam Module in case you'd not seen it... The Drupal Contrib folder is starting to get rather large ;-)

My feature request has been included into the spam module.
So, if you want more configuration options and post-moderation facilities, go and use that module.

Meanwhile, I won't give up this module, as "some" sites use it.
It's more lightweight, has a stable 6.x release, prevents spam to get into your database (but it doesn't give you the opportunity to check if there were any false negatives) ...
