Default Cleaning-Up after a Penalty

Just a FWIW, we know we're supposed to do a thorough site clean-up before sending in a "reconsideration" request, though that may now also include cleaning up any spammy comments left on third party sites.

"Similar to how you have removed spammy links in your own forum, you
may want to consider what you can do to help clean up similar links on
other people's sites."

John Mu, message 74

Please Help! -60 penalty from Google due to proxy site. - Crawling, indexing, and ranking | Google Groups

With thanks to Sebastians Pamphlets for highlighting this.

I suspect he means stuff under our control like usernames/sig links on forums or blogs.
