It wouldn't surprise me a bit if that rumor was true.  I have
a high-pagerank website with an unremarkable submission form
(c-faq.com/feedback.html) that usually receives one or two
linkspams per week, but suddenly yesterday and today I've gotten
about a dozen.

Good.  That's clearly the right stance for now, dismaying though
it is.
