Here's a stupid suggestion.
Code it so that *NEW* links are nofollow by default (thus stopping linkspammers from being rewarded for linkspamming), but allow a process (request to an admin or something) whereby a link can simply be followed and then the "nofollow" tag removed from it if it's verified to not be a spam link.

I'm awaiting your patch.
But I guess it's easier to spread wild conspiracy theories then to get involved.
