I just installed this on my board...

I was wondering if this only prevented the "Guest" or un-registered user from posting any url's...?

As it is right now, I have my board set to where you have to be registered in order to post. If that's the case, would I benefit from having this MOD installed...? Is this MOD intended for boards where the "Guest" or un-registered user can post and reply?

Just trying to shed a little more light on the subject.

Thanks,
Thomas

Yes, this mod works only for guests. I believe that registered users shouldn't be bothered. It's better to prevent spam bots from registering, for example, using Textual Confirmation.

Unfortunately, no.
