XF 1.3 My XF is being spammed by bots...

My XF install is being spammed by bots. How can I make it so that new members cannot post links? Also is there a way I can setup a security question?

Make it that they have to answer a question and that you approve the accounts if they are the real deal.
In your AdminCP there is a section under tools for question/answer
