    Yes, no question about it. Delete their spam then nuke them.

    I would remove html/bb code in signatures or setup usergroup permissions (if you're on vbulletin):

    Admin CP > Usergroups > Usergroup Manager > Edit Usergroup > Signature Permissions

    Also keep an eye on visitor messages because they'll spam this part of your forum too. I see very little value in visitor messages (unlike PMs) so I'd switch them to moderated, otherwise you'll just be wasting your time deleting stuff.

    Good luck.

    100% ban. They're just Xrumer or similar programs that automatically pickup footprints of forums on the internet and autospam them with profile links.
