I doubt it... It's quite hard to tell the difference between spam
links and real links.

Stable Versions are the solution, yet again - have nofollow on
unstable versions and allow the links to be indexed on stable
versions, that way everyone gets the benefit of google indexing the
links, without there being an incentive to add linkspam.
