This fails to address the real issue.
That is, even if you make your links useless (easy with a no-follow meta tag) it wont help, the majority of this spam is AUTOMATED, and will spam your wiki/blog/guestbook based on simple page queues.
Your best personal defense is to manually remove any page or html queues that a spammer would pick up on as being common to a certain type of postable web page or element.
Bloggers have been creating blacklists (banning both poster ips and destination urls) with some degree of success. This is a deterrent, having a spammer show up on a blacklist whereby webmasters use a distributed file to 'clean' their blogs automatically.
