A change to filter out advertising and spambots

Quite usually, we see some forum posts that don't make sense, include shady and non-relevant links and the poster has no other activities on the site. These bots can already be reported, I always do when I see one, but it would be better to save some work for the moderators.
I propose that only accounts with more than 100 achievement points should be able to include links in their posts. That amount of points can be easily achieved by real people who can read by visiting the expansion guides, but it would stop bots that post on every forum they find.

While i understand where you're coming from, we do not want to create any such obstacle for newcomers, having to "spam" forum just to be able to post a link to the picture you want to share with others? Not a great experience.
We are always working on ways to tackle spambots, reporting them definitely helps. We hope to implement a better system in the future to deal with them better.
