Block Reddit Gold on User Pages

Recently, Reddit added a new link beneath users' overview section of their page:
treat yourself to reddit gold

Also if you happen to be checking out another user's profile, you'll see:
buy (another user) a month of reddit gold

I enjoy Reddit a great deal, and I don't block their sponsored ad banners even though I otherwise have AdBlock Plus enabled, but I found this linkage a bit annoying.
ಠ_ಠ

To remove it from your own Reddit user page, you can copy and paste the following Element rule to your AdBlock Plus filter list:
reddit.com##A[href="/gold"]

To prevent the link from appearing on other users' pages, add another rule with the following slightly different syntax:

reddit.com##A[href*="/gold?goldtype=gift"]


Here's a screenshot showing how the rules appear:
