Can you copy a link here?
 
Hi there, we try to pick these up as quick as possible. Using the report post function is a big help btw ;)

We could try disabling posting of links and signatures for new members, i'll see what I can do about this today.

There's another forum I'm on that's not a vBulletin forum, that allows all users to have sigs but it has a feature enabled where one has to have X-number of posts before they're allowed to put a link in their sig. Is that an available vBulletin feature?

Yes they are. Seems to be a (relatively) new trend in forum spam...
