 With the new-ish signup tool that allows us to un-spam registrations, it
 also lets us block users from that interface. However, while it does log
 who did the action, it doesn't do so in a trackable way. That is, we only
 get logged "Changed to blocked by X" but none of the reason.

 Generally the reason is "Bio and/or registration URLs were spammy" but
 none of that is recorded.

 What we need is a change to the notice.

 1. Where was the account spammed/blocked from? This can be "Banned by X
 via ..."

 2. A COPY of the bio and URLs (recommend truncation since some bios are
 5000 word porn stories, not kidding). That way it's obvious to everyone
 else "Oh, yeah, the person with the bio about their casino is probably
 spam"

 Example of a spammy signup:

 url: http://10040656...
 from: metro hispania
 occ: Security guard
 interests: sex

 or:

 url: https://www.facebook.com/Huge-Market-1234566
 from: Main Street

 Those should be copied into the user notes.
