Preventing this sort of thing from happening on

require a policy that forbids people who work for PR firms not only

policy of this nature would be so vague that it would be a nightmare
to enforce -- especially since many PR firms do not disclose their
client lists.
I'd just as soon block the PR firms entirely. Maybe once they get some
semblance of a clue, but for now virtually every edit I've seen come
from a PR firm has been crap.
