Spam Prevention - Other Solutions

Hi there

We've had a number of spam users enter our site and post links either leading to scam, inappropriate or malicious websites.

We're currently in the process in building a bespoke addon that allows a "domain whitelist", essentially whenever a user tries to specify a specific domain, it would show an error claiming that they cannot send this. This would be extending both thread and post entities, and having user criteria so we can target specific users to exclude our community members from being targeted by this addon.

However, we would like to explore other options in order to automate prevention with these cases before finalising this addon, which has roughly 2-3 weeks due to it being a low priority. We are likely still going to add this addon to our site, but my primary question is to ask the Xenforo community of your way on handling these issues before adding our own.
