Kudos to Eric.

One very effective way to stop spam is to censor the spam url sitewide so it becomes useless for spammers to continue to spam your site.

I was checking if this feature is available for both ad listings and private messages and I found the bad word settings.

And, it's coverage is sitewide.

Thanks.

I tried to add in the little small stuff like this for v4.

It's a very good feature.

I have effectively stopped some spammers on a few of my forums just by censoring the url they are spamming. This works for those who spam their company website.
