You have the system of flags for this purpose.
Just make it more strict (in section Admin>Spam) - if anyone sets one flag, the abuse post will be hidden.

Automatic blocking posts is pointless, due to infinite abuse imagination of trolls. You will waste your time.

And don't forget that all links are nofollowed, meaning the links are ignored by search engines.

How to block comments containing *http*

i wrote this:

   public function process_event($event, $userid, $handle, $cookieid, $params)

    {

        switch ($event) {

            case 'c_post':

$content=$params['content'];

if(strpos($content, "http")>0)

       {

qa_post_delete($params['postid']);

}

                break;

        }

However, it creates a row in database and deletes it. I want to block database insertion

You have to write a filter module for this, not process_event. Because process_event means event is already over.

how to do?

    public function filter_comment(&$comment, &$errors, $question, $parent, $oldcomment)
    {
            if(strpos($content, "http")>0)
                        {
                        array_push($errors, 'dont post url');
                        return false;
                        }
    }

If the link shows up like that ( http://*****.com/adlffd ) , then you could write a Javascript method like this:

$('a:contains("***")').remove();

I'm sure no plausible link would have 3 asterisks in a row, or even one if that matter, so it's safe to remove them.

You can try it on this post using the Dev Tools console.
