Combatting drupal comment spam with mollom

Last night I deleted about 300 spam comments from a drupal site I maintain for a friend. If that had been a month’s worth I might not have minded, but those were all submitted yesterday, the vast majority by a user calling himself ‘cialis’. right.
So I installed Mollom and it seems to be helping.
The good: so far comment spams are at zero and counting.
The bad: every anonymous user gets the “Mollom” name & link under the comment box.
The ugly: every administrative user sees a “report to Mollom” link under every comment. Well since we are screening comments anyway, there should never be a need for such a link on that site. I wonder if there’s an option to turn this off or if it’s time to get the hacking gloves on?
