I'd argue that we shouldn't support such themes and should say so
openly. Here's another current example:
<http://wordpress.org/support/topic/urgent-help-plz-help-me-now>
A declaration of "non-support" (for want of a better term) should also
be added to the Forum Rules Codex page. Anything else strikes me as just
plain wrong whichever way you look at it.

I'd just suggest a modlook. We don't get that many, so a few more per
day isn't going to cause any problem. Then theme links can be removed,
if necessary.
