Default URL's & Links

Can anybody tell me why links and URL's are deleted from posts. I can understand why spam is deleted but if a link is relevant to the thread/topic why would it be deleted? Is there some legal reason as most forums allow this as it is relevant.

Do i have to think !!!
I understand why the spam is deleted, that's called moderating the forum. Any links posted by the regular users are not going to be from dodgy locations and therefore highly unlikely to contain a virus and everyone who uses the internet with an ounce of intelligence will have one or several anti virus software packages running on their pc.
So i still don't get why links from regular users that are on topic and relevant are deleted?

Sorry to sound a bit argumentative.
