Disabling live links for new members with less then X posts?

    I am wanting to put measures in place on my vB forum as it is getting hit pretty hard with message spam of late. Most spam bots make one post to never return again, so I am thinking if I only allow members with a minimum post count be allowed to post live URL's. Is there any hack or config setting which can achieve this?
