He isn't a spammer. He's Superscout.
The no links for the first few post thing is actually a lot more effective than you might think. A lot of spam is automated, and the automated spam systems are unable to cope with not being able to post links. If I turned it off any spammers that manage to register using these systems (most don't get that far) would be able to post loads of spam before we had time to ban them.
I'll bow down to the man with the stats.
