I understand that (though I've never heard of any site actually getting in trouble besides what EP's already attracted from Square and Namco- Cease and Desist letters).

What's that about links? O_o
Same answer as to skinner. I get the notion behind it, though I find the conclusion somewhat silly for a site already based around copyright violations. 
For links, I mean the editing out and rules against links to other websites that may perhaps host PC related things.
One of my very first posts at EP was a link to some abandonware site or another, to a download of X-Com: UFO Defense. The thread was initially OK until Banned came in and pointed out that said abandonware site also hosted a crack for Half-Life 1, and linked to it, and then a mod/admin came in, deleted the links, and locked the thread.
For a more recent example, see Panda's warning to not link to demonoid or any torrent site with news about it, due to the "no warez" rule. See what I'm saying? Nobody's ever in the history of mankind had trouble for linking to someone else's site that in non-related sections has stuff that someone might object to.
As I was walking down the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today.
I wish, I wish he'd go away.
