It looks like you guys are new to the idea of spam bots. Its extremely doubtful that this is actually a person (and if it is its a foreign scam artist). This is a little unusual for this kind of forum but is incredibly common on most social networking and dating sites. Their end goal is anything from getting you to pay for their porn site (and probably stealing your credit card in the process) to making some lonely guy fall in love and eventually wire them a significant amount of money to help them in crisis or with traveling to get together.
The way to fight these is to make it more difficult for fake users to register for the site (better captia and account verification). IP banning may work but they can probably easily change IP addresses. Also since it seems that not all users on this site are particularly tech savvy and aware of these kind of scams sending out emails and private messages to all users warning them about the danger would be a good idea as well.
