XF 1.1 Is there a setting to prevent members in a particular usergroup from posting links?

Is there a setting to prevent members in a particular usergroup from posting links?

There is no such feature.

Assuming you are concerned about your forum being used for black hat SEO... note that XF already adds nofollow attributes to user-submitted links so search engines will not follow those links. It makes an exception for links submitted by admins and mods.

Or see this post regarding links in profiles:

Yes, that was my concern. Good to know XF adds nofollow to links phew! Few users were anchor texting links to promote websites. Well, I have now installed this mod by sadik which prevents new users from posting links unless they reach minimum posts. http://xenforo.com/community/resources/splendidpoint-com-antispam-prevent-links-and-emails.106/
