on my forum, I see people randomly posting links like, jokeonlineworld.com, or practicaljokeonline.com/winner.html, etc and its totally unrelated to the actual post...


I dont know if I should censor these URL's, should I notify the members who have that to do virus scan on their computer, I already have nofollow on all the outside links on my forum so I shouldn't worry that much about it... ?

Hard to say but it is more probably a bot. I had to shut down my forum last year until I could come up with a fix. If it's a vbulletin forum, there are threads on their main site about this.
