The absolute banning of such links should not depend on somebody's failure of imagination.
There is no absolute ban,
No, just effects indistinguishable from one. This is why the people who seem to be following WP:BADSITES seem particularly ludicrous when claiming that it was written by a troll - they're following just what it said in the version they claim to be repudiating!
And note, by the way, that this is how they trashed Gracenotes' RFA - he answered saying he went for a non-absolute link by link approach, and they then trashed the RFA for not following the absolute approach they claim to be repudiating. We've seen nothing whatsoever to reassure us they won't do the same to Gracenotes or some other editor next time - trashing an RFA for not agreeing with a *failed* policy initiative.
