 | Its a shame they cant just block referral links as a string of text anything to do with the domains extension. However the Conga's need it. Flag as spam could be abused. But, its a good idea! |

| I've been searching around the internet, and if the thumbs up system isn't achievable, maybe you could give this vBulletin plugin a try: MonkeyStop - Auto-Moderation of Spammer Keywords and URLs by postcount - vBulletin.org Forum Basically, it can make posts containing a certain keyword await mod approval. Using this, you could set http:/freebiejeebies.co.uk/ as the keyword, and then all posts for congas etc that are justified can simply be approved by the mod, while the spam ones never get posted!
