3lite is attempting to link-spam the site [#362960]

His user page:
http://drupal.org/user/112270

I've cleared the comment signature from his user account (which tried to override our rel="nofollow") and sent him a warning. I've told him he'll be banned if he tries it again.

I also removed the signature from the 19 comments he posted with it.
