new link restriction - metulburr - Oct-19-2016

There are a lot of spam posts...and most of these have links. 

So now people with less than 5 posts cannot post clickable links. (i could make this just 1?, since they usually do not get much further than that...i just stuck with 5 because that is the other anti-spam measures post count) 

On the rare occasion that a new user would like to post a link and are legit and not spammers, they can post a link but it must not be clickable, for example
github.com/metulburr
ditch the http and/or www
But after the post count they can from thereafter post links as normal. Even edit their previous posts with clickable links as well.

Seems like okay option this to prevent spam.

I think just the first post is enough. We'll purge anyone before they get too many in, typically.

make sense to have user rights change at the same times
