XF 1.5 Disable the "About You" profile field until user is in group?

[SpecialK]

We are having a heck of a time with spammers signing up and adding content to the 'About You' field in their profile. We'd like to hide this field until the user is in a certain usergroup. I know I can do this with template conditionals, but I wanted to check first to make sure there's not an addon that does this already (Or a toggle in the XF options that achieves it)

Any ideas?

You could set "Edit profile" to no for the default group and override it afterwards. This will block all edits on profiles, though. Wouldn't recommend addons if you can handle something with 1 or 2 lines as template modifications, btw.
