Censor spam links

Hello,
I'd like to suggest that we censor the links that the recent spammers have been uselessly spamming us with.
For example when they use the text "(Intel Version or Power PC Version)" [linked of cause] it would show up as censored of some way, either the text changed, or the URL its self censored.
Iv just tried this and have found out that you cannot censor more than 16 characters, so I suggest that we censor a part of the link, and allow the wild card thing ( The * ) to censor and remove links
I think it's 'bout time we kick them back to where they came from
Sincerely,
Darren

Voted yes , I tried this with the word censoring and it didn't work so we really do need a link censor also.

No, simply because you can censor some of the URL and add the "*" which makes it anything like it, thus censoring the URL in questions that are similar to the one with the wildcard selector in it.
Add it is for the SF ( Support Forum ) , not for all forums, as their not getting as raped by the stupid IDIOTIC spammers like we are

That's nine votes now since I voted yes, 
This might get ride of that spammer.
I've seen that spammer on many different forums before, and he/she killed some of the forums, because the staff don't show up,
( The forums were all popular, but now, there are only about 40-100 guests online )

This would be helpful if we had a URL censor option. I would agree but all the url's are differnet so it will be harder to do it.

So we use the wildcard option (*) and censor similar parts of similar links.

I know how there is already the ability to censor words in the forum
But I think it would be really cool If admins had the ability to ban a word in the chatbox and it would get replaced by something else.
That way, if an admin or chatbox moderator is no
Problem:
Members taking censored words and putting numbers and symbols instead of a letter. This bypasses the censor.
Example: Say the word "Donkey" is censored. A member can post "Donk3y" to bypass the censor.
Solution
Well, I
Someone used the "F-word" in our chatbox, and it wasn't censored. I think you should have a chat-censor.
