Um, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't an admin removing those links 
"when they see them" a "systematic way"? There may be few situations 
where they are added legitimately, but when they are added legitimately, 
they should be left alone.

Oh, how convenient. So we ignore the problem, pretend it doesn't exist, 
and it will magically go away. And if it doesn't magically go away, 
editors should quietly contact someone through the back door to say, 
"um, what the hell" and hope that that person will both acknowledge 
their concern and correct it.

Yeah, that'll work.
