Just.

Fix.

It.

FYI, discussions moderators are members, like you.
If if there were a technical solution (which there isn’t), neither Roo nor I
nor the others mods can change the forum’s code.

I'm going to go against the grain here and say that while the spam is annoying,
it's not something that I think is a critical issue. I see 1-2 spam messages
per day, they're obvious spam, I can just scroll on by. Compared to the amount
of spam I see in my emails every day, this is nothing.

+1 it isn’t a major issue the only times it has been is when someone did this

  Silver lining: (most) forum regulars have now learned how to report posts


What about maybe if a post contains more then 1 url it has to be moderated before
it can be posted?


Um. The other catalog admins and I post multiple links in our messages a lot
of the time. We don't need our posts moderated.

Can the same rule apply to emojis?

I'm not so sure about that - for example, you could have a keyword filter
that only gets triggered if the post includes a link.
