The 24-hour restriction isn't just 24 hours after the registration time, I'm talking about "Total time logged in" here, which means that they will need to spend at least 24 hours in total in the forum to be able to post links. So if a newbie spends 4 hours a day surfing the forum, they should be able to get through the restriction in 6 days.
With this, you could simply just restrict the whole member group as 24 hours logged time is simply too much, for example, in my case if I look at my time counted it's the equivalent of close to 9 days...
If newbies are not allowed to post, how will they leave a link in their posts for asking help?
If forum censors link from newbies in posts and in bbcode blocks too, they will have difficulty in asking help like confirming one website is legit or is phishing site. Only a link can provide information for newbies to ask.

Again, I'm against this but let's not make it look like it's something crucial!
