Hey Gottfried, thank you for the interesting thread.
I just installed the Akismet plugin, it should automatically ban a user after a spam post.
Lets see whether/how it works.
I think the missing advertising link in the bot's signature/profile/post is just a technical difficulty in the software. Particularly as I disabled html/links in the signatures.
However one strategy may be to accumulate lots of users with unsuspicious profiles and later put lots of advertising into the profile (which nobody would notice).
