As a first step before making users apply for an account (see #1147), we could de-motivate spammers by disallowing links, or making sure links dont result in spam pages showing up in google search.

Option A

Remove all existing links from user bios & disallow links in bio going forward

Option B

apply nofollow to all existing user profile bio links & disallow links in bio going forward

We removed all users with links already. And disallow the user to put in links in their profile,
