XF 1.3 Getting spammed with spam accounts, spam cleaner no avail

[Nicky Vermeersch]

Hey, Im using XenUtiles (Spam) to detect urls on people's their profiles. I discovered that I literally hundreds of accounts that are used for SOE/linkbuilding registered on my forums, and all of them link to very undesirable content.

I tried getting rid of it all with the Spam Cleaner, but that tool cannot remove the stuff they fill in at Location, occupation, homepage, and about. Is there any other way to quickly get rid of these accounts their info, without actually deleting the account?

This is what normal users/guests see for banned users:
