I agree, when this person first started adding them, it was even
worse, but I (along with another user or two) worked out a reasonable
compromise that let the links stay without being as POV as they were at
first (I think it revolved around use of a word like "excellent" to
describe it, and one other phrase). I'd really rather not see them at all,
but I didn't want to be too heavy-handed in refusing "contributions"
either (especially as I wasn't a sysop then). So I wouldn't be too
saddened by their loss.
Sysop is no higher level in terms of policies. Sysop is only the right
to use some advanced technical features in the wiki software that are
considered as too dangerous to be given to any newbie or vandal.
A newbie has to ask for someone else doing these task, e.g. on Votes
for deletion, Vandalism in progress, etc.
