Spammers : block posting external website links.

No, sorry. New users may very well be users who have been watching and reading for a while and now want to participate. It's not fair to hobble their involvement because because of a (relatively) small number of spammers. The "vote to remove message" and member reporting system are here to be used. I think what you're after is this[^]. Maybe?

I already used vote to remove message and reported member as spammer, I am concerned about the trend although the number is small now but it looks like it is going to increase. So we should at-least think some strategy to tackle the issue in near future.

How about adding A question like this?
The question:
Select one from options bellow that best describe who you are! 1. A programmer who want to join the community 2. A scholar who want to share his knowledge 3. An expert in <Language here> who want to have some quality discussion 4. A newbie programmer who had an urgentz request 5. A spammer
If he choose #1 then redirect him to The Lounge[^] after registering If he choose #2 then redirect him to Post New Article[^] after registering. If he choose #3 then redirect him to Forum List[^] after registering If he choose #4 then redirect him to Ask New Question[^] after registering (It's best to focus the rules first). Lastly, If he choose #5 then redirect him to ***** or whereever appropriate.
Excuse me for my improper grammar and typos. It's because English is my primary language, not my first language. My first languages are C# and Java. VB, ASP, JS, PHP and SQL are my second language. Indonesian came as my third language. My fourth language? I'm still creating it, I'll let you know when it's done! :-D
