Description
Spammers put their links in the forum profiles description area.
I know you cannot paste urls in the description area directly and it will not turn into a link, but you can still use html to insert a link that way.
We should just deprive any SEO benefit from spammers/spam bots that are smart enough to insert a link using html in the description area.

- Keywords has-patch added
Didn't know it was that easy before. WIth the above patch it is also possible to show the users website or other profile fields on their profile page with no problems.

Replying to Robkk:
Here is an example of what I am talking about.
This spammer posted about 15 links on his bbpress.org profile.
Thanks, I've removed all these from the users profile.

Code snippet or core??
I have something like this that would basically add nofollow to any links to the users description.
Then I can copy
user-profile.php
from the bbPress templates into my child theme and replace this.with this
