I also think that it has to rely on outbound links from your site rather than inbound ones because, as said, it would be open to competitor abuse if not. You would have to be linking out to some pretty spammy link farms or something to actually be penalised by the big G imo. I think the bad neighbourhood thing is definitely over-rated.

And IF you are penalised because of your own or a competitors link building spamming actions then it is possible to reverse the effect with some work and dialogue with Google. But in the grand scheme of things it's not something we should worry about." if you’ve got a couple of spare hours check out this thread at WPW: http://www.webproworld.com/google-discussion-forum/68650-can-inbound-links-really-hurt-you.html

Otherwise it would be open to competitor abuse. Besides, the difficulty would be defining what is a bad neighbourhood... it's such an wide term. Yeah, I've been watching that website closely creep up the SERPs ;) I like it. I’m more inclined to believe links will just be devalued, rather than any chance of a full site/page ban.
