Oh good idea! Very sneaky. I did a quick sort through and found these, they don't have active posts but do have spam links in their signatures. I'm not able to get rid of users or edit signatures, but if someone else could take care of these:
memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=470
memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=482
memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=687
