These new spam threads...

... all seem to have a URL in the title. So as the forum already has URL-detection when it's part of a post body (unless it's at the start), why can't it just see if there's a URL in the title and just block the post? Can't be difficult to run through every thread more than a week old (i.e. every thread that has lasted a week without being removed) to see if any legitimate ones contain a URL in the title, and if not, use that as a spam rule. Maybe add in the check to see if it's the posters first thread.

We've asked the same question, and it's on the to do list.
