Proposal: disallow profile URLs for newbie members?
Signature rules already disallow links to be in newbies' signature but AFAIK links are allowed in their profile. I have noticed that even the last few accounts on the modlog do still have personal messages/text, signatures and profile links.

Yeah, that's it!
Essentially a short conclusion of the above post. 
Proposal: disallow profile URLs for newbie members?
I believe that nuking them won't do. It might remove the spam they create but spamming the forum is obviously not their goal. Deleting the account would also be problematic if it's done manually because you would be fighting bare handed against a machine. As I mentioned in a post I made about this, those accounts are probably made so websites can have backlinks. The forum needs to be protected from such automated account creation techniques, and I know it's hard to prevent this completely BUT it could at least become less meaningful with some small changes. Let's say that account's below Jr. Member position won't be able to use the forum's features to add links to their signature and website space. Take a look at the newest accounts. Most of them have 0 or 1 posts, but almost all of them have set a website address. Turns out the forum is vulnerable and someone is abusing this vulnerability to practice his blackhat SEO techniques.
Yes, we nuke them. If you see a message from spambots, just report it.
they're being handled. see: https://bitcointalk.org/modlog.php

if you look at the new members website you will see that these are probaly bot made accounts.
