A bit of Googling yielded this mod for the version of vBulletin that CD is running that can block links in signatures of users with under X posts:

I don't know if it's something that's worth pursuing, but fixes (other than playing whack-a-mole) are out there.

There is built-in functionality to prevent links in signatures in certain user groups -- I've added it to the usergroup promotion that moves people from new users to trusted non-spam users.
