spam settings in v2

I think there needs to be some simple spam prevention methods in v2 on the spam settings page.

If a post contains more than X links, hold for moderation.
If a user with less than 3 posts, posts a discussion with X links hold for moderation
Black List .. collection of common spam links or something. If a post contains a word on the black list the post is marked as spam.

something would be better than nothing.

    Some easyish plugins right there to write. Problem is there is no moderation queue in vanilla implemented. But that could be done.

    holding post for moderation isnt a must, i actually dont like posts to be held for moderation. But there has to be some form of basic spam prevention out of the box.

    There is in the form of comment throttling. So it blocks you from posting discussions too fast. I think this limit can be changed too in the dashboard.

    The last comment from @Tom123456 shows nicely, that the SPAM capability in Vanilla 2 should be improved ;-)

    What I do not understand is, that you guys (@Mark?) have not enabled the Captcha-Method for your own forum? This is kinda... careless.
