This plugin rejects outright any comments that contain either (a) BBCode 
[url=…] tags or (b) more than a predefined number of hyperlinks. As comments 
of this nature are almost exclusively spam, this should cut down drastically on 
the amount of detritus that Akismet has to deal with, making it easier to check 
for false positives in your spam queue.
<h3>Configuration</h3>
The default settings enforce a limit of two hyperlinks per comment. 
To change this, edit the number in the line just below the copyright notice 
which says:
<pre><code>define('MAX_HYPERLINKS', 2);
</code></pre>
If you set it to zero, it will not allow any hyperlinks. To allow unlimited 
hyperlinks and only block BBCode, comment out this line.
