🎩 What? Why?

There are many so called "profile spammers" on all Decidim instances. They create a profile, fill in the personal URL and about section and then they don't do anything on the website.

They do this to get link juice from the external site towards their site.

Here's some examples from MetaDecidim:

• https://meta.decidim.org/profiles/ankitatop10/activity
• https://meta.decidim.org/profiles/andywilliamy/activity
• https://meta.decidim.org/profiles/levinsmith0444/activity
• etc. (there are many more)

Let's stop giving them "link juice" for their unethical SEO practices.
