banning accounts upon key words/phrases

[Ofnuts]

On GimpForums(*) spam became a non-issue (under one spam per day) by:

1. forbidding links in first posts
   
2. making user profiles invisible to guest users (this includes Googlebots)
   
3. regularly deleting inactive users (those with 0 posts)
   
4. tallying spammer IPs on a monthly basis and eyeballing if specific addresses or /24 or /16 ranges were repeat offenders and ban them.
   
5. un-ban these address ranges that had kept quiet for three month or more
   

This was on an ancient version of MyBB. Current versions include a tool to do #3, and StopForumSpam for #4 and #5, as well as settings to prevent user having signatures before some number of posts (and it is very time consuming for a spammer to make 5 posts that don't look out of place in a forum (especially about something like Python)).

(*) Somewhat more popular than PF.org, with an Alexa ranking around 120K before going belly up, while PF.org was around 400k

How do I [censored] the dictionary arguments?

Did we go live with banning certain things?
