Auto Banning Link Spammers

Over the last few days, I have been having to ban users that are registering only to place links to other sites in their profiles. I have no problem with people putting their website in their profile, but these are spammers looking to boost a sites SEO ranking by link spamming. To stop this, I have created a module that will allow you to add the links in the db that these spammers use. Once added, if  a user uses one of these websites in their profile, they will be automatically suspended, their username will be have the word banned add to it and they get a nice little message to let them know how I feel about spammers. I am testing it now and will release it as soon as I see if it works.
