I am only talking about user profile pages not the links inside them. I have already taken care of them.
Request others to please come up with suggestions.

Let me re-phrase my question a bit. Would it be a good idea to get the user profile links noindexed in the first place? or should we keep them indexed in Google?

I maintain a myBB based forum here. The user profile links look something like this http://www.learnqtp.com/forums/User-Ankur
Now in my GWT, I can see many 404 errors for user profile links. This is primarily because we have tight control over spam and auto-profiles generated by bots. Either our moderators or our spam control software delete such spammy member profiles on a periodic basis but by then Google indexes those profiles.
I am wondering, would it be a good idea to disallow User profiles links using robots.txt?
Something like
Disallow: /forums/User-*
