Yep, checked various options like that already.
More than likely its an offshoot from PHPbb.
Unfortunately, whilst I've completely hacked PHPbb - I never did any mods - and I presume the mod system will be similar.
So, your best bet would be to request a specific mod at MyBB.
You've already got ranks - which I assume are based on number of postings. The simplest thing to do would be to introduce some restrictions to those on the "first rank" (<10posts?).
I would suggest:
1. Any post with any URL or URL like text in post or title to go into moderation (or bin if there is no moderation).
2. Limit the number of posts to 2-3 per day
3. Prevent them starting new discussions
This should cause the minimum disruption to actual users and maximum to spammers. The only bypass, will be URLs in the user "signature" - but i suspect it could be a pain to change this.
The changes I've suggested are because they require no changes to user or admin user interface, no change to database. As such they should be relatively easy to get working by small adaptations to present code. So, for someone who knows the code, we could be talking a few hours work.
This should maximise the chances of getting help to produce a suitable mod.
Oh the grand oh Duke Suetonius, he had a Roman legion, he galloped rushed down to (a minor settlement called) Londinium then he galloped rushed back again. Londinium Bridge is falling down, falling down ... HOLD IT ... change of plans, we're leaving the bridge for Boudica and galloping rushing north.
