Everyone Respects Christmas and New Year

Do you know what real loneliness is? It is when you open you mailbox and there is nothing there. Not even a SPAM.

I guess convert-me.com should have been filling lonely lately. Not only the number of daily visitors dropped 5 times, but even the spammers ceased their activity on the forum. I was even a bit anxious for them. Fortunately (well, unfortunately), the holidays are over and everything is back. Both the good guys our visitors and the bad guys spammers.

Today I had to spend about an hour cleaning up numerous post with links to adult sites from our conversion forum. There are so many adult sites around. Looks like competition in their industry is very high.

I am now considering an option of prohibiting to include any http links in the posts to any forum user who registered recently (say, less than a week ago). This should make life of spammers harder yet. Unfortunately it'll affect legitimate users too if they want to post a link to some conversion resource. I'm not sure yet whether to implement this restriction or not. Any suggestions are welcome.
