I've noticed that there's an increasing number of spams recently. Especially in "Game Programming-External Stuff".

Looking on spam, i have an idea how to limit it (if it possible). What is the same in all spam messages ? Yes -- they are all full of links (external links). So, i think would be nice spam-filtering if forum will disallow posting message with more than 10 links (for example).

P.S.: You can increase the number free. Because most spam messages contains 50+ links (almost always).

people want to spam any forum they can because the extra hyperlinks increase their page ratings on google.
