Quite understandable... which is why I was suggesting (above) some ways to discourage it happening in the first place. I've found in other forums that making links nofollow (at least for low post count / new users) has a large effect on the amount of link spam (not overnight, but they eventually notice).

The other thing is that many of these spam accounts will sign up with the same hard coded password. Blocking these passwords (they're random strings) really throws them for a loop too.
