This would hide 53 of the 64 websites above, and none of them will be missed. If I extrapolate to 3460606 posts, this will remove approximately 180,000 spam backlinks from Bitcointalk.

I believe that those that are proxybanned cannot list anything in their profile. If there is a requirement for a profile to have at least two posts in order to have their website displayed, there will be an incentive for people to create spam-bots that write exactly two posts and fill in a website they want to be advertised. I looked at a random person in your list, and I don't think his referral link is doing him any good by being displayed in his profile. I searched both his username and his referral link in google, and neither search came back with his bitcointalk profile. I don't think google will index user profiles solely by virtue of someone having a forum account. If someone has written zero posts that google will ever see, there is no way for google to know to visit the profile. The member list is disabled, and google will visit webpages via following links are pages it visits, while being subjected to the limitations the administrator sets to google.

Why do we have to wait until a user has been nuked/banned and their content removed? Why no dial it up in much the same way you can't post in your signature until you've advance through the ranks - the higher the rank, the more bells and whistles (and colour and amount of characters etc you can include).

A simpler proposal would be to remove the website link until you become a Member. That way, people can just buy access to it with the Copper membership if they want to advertise their service. It also means custom PHP doesn't need to be added to the forum just to support the edge case of 0/1 post users.

Good catch and value to discuss. I suggest to hide the Website link in the profile of users with 1 or less posts.
We will see they will create account and make a random post then they are good. Timelord2067 and NotATether have better suggestions I think. Specifically I will think closer to NotATether. But since he was advising to buy copper membership so I would emphasis on at least earning member rank before able to have a website link on the profile.

I believe that those that are proxybanned cannot list anything in their profile. I haven't tested this (and I don't want to go through Tor-captchas to try). If there is a requirement for a profile to have at least two posts in order to have their website displayed, there will be an incentive for people to create spam-bots that write exactly two posts and fill in a website they want to be advertised. I considered that too, but there are spambots already. And all it would take it reporting one of their posts to remove the link again. Now Website links stay, I think even after the account gets Nuked. Why do we have to wait until a user has been nuked/banned and their content removed? Why no dial it up in much the same way you can't post in your signature until you've advance through the ranks I guess that's because the Website-link is "grandfathered" in the forum. Without spammers, it wasn't a problem at all. A simpler proposal would be to remove the website link until you become a Member. I tried not to raise the bar too high, but I'd be totally fine with this too

Now Website links stay, I think even after the account gets Nuked. Most spambots are advertising their website in their post. They are easy to identify. If someone had to make two posts in order to be able to display a website in their profile, the spammer could simply make two semi-useful posts in random threads to have this ability unlocked. Also, as I mentioned previously, a user with no posts having a website in their profile is not doing anything for that website. I don't believe that google is indexing profile pages of users with no posts.

Copper is cheap enough that it's not a big deal for someone who is going to be even a casual member of the forum can pay for it. There really is no reason for anyone to need to post website links, it's a convenient thing but not needed. So either be useful & post and get merit or pay a bit. -Dave

Member or anything (Jr Member, Newbie, Brand New) + Copper seems more fair. Newbies buy Copper to be able to display images for their business, project, ICO etc. So letting them add a website would be a logical thing to do.

I think anything other than from the beginning. I mean newbie can add website on their profile. So, allowing Jr member only would decrease the rate significantly as this spammer would never visit the site again after their account creation and adding the website link.
