My fix for this is to eliminate the link button from the Boardcode above.

Edit administrator/components/com_kuenena/libraries/bbcode/editor.xml
I commented out the button for editor_code at approximately line 65, this will eliminate the editor toggle which allows direct html coding to be inserted.

Then I commented out the lines at approximately 87 to 107 to eliminate the buttons for image links, url links, ebay links, video links and map links.

Unfornately you need to make a note to remind you that when you upgrade the component these will be overlaid and you will need to re-apply the fixes.

Would be nice to have a parameter to allo/dis-allow these items.

These Joomla components, along with setting up Kunena security like Captcha and Stop Forum Spam (see the security tab in Kunena > Configuration > Security should make it pretty difficult for spammers to register.
