The link is no different to any normal text they would add.

A straight forward solution would be to follow Carrie's advice.

If you really don't want them adding html, use the coding style of a
bulletin board e.g. [url=http://www.freelancers.net]freelancers[/url] and
add a suitable render fix, in your php. Though, if you've got html in the
DB (?) they might just add it anyway ....
