Personally, I think this is a must for core Xenforo
Bots have started to register on my forum
As a forum type such as Xenforo become successful, it undoubtedly becomes a target for automated spammers.
One "class" of spammer is often quite hard to detect, since all they do is sign up and add a "home page". If they target hundreds of thousands of Xenforo forums, this they think, is a clever way of building up page rank without being detected (default xf is nofollow, bots.. why why why try!)
Thankfully, Xenforo has a great spam cleaning tool but it doesn't delete the user (so they still have a "home page")
I would like
1) Using the spam cleaner in Core: To have an option to delete the user
2) Using group privileges: To prevent users from adding a home page (or displaying it publicly) until a certain number of posts have been achieved.
This would really grind this type of spammer to a halt (and stop XF being a target for this type of "spam" )
