SEOMoz Campaign shows Warnings for pages with >200 and <300 links

[PBCLinear]

We currently use SEOMoz's campaign tool to review the SEO progress of our site.  One thing we are unsure of is that SEOMoz gives us a warning for over 1000 of our pages because we have around 200 links on those pages (all in the Menu Drop Downs).  I read the post and watched the video, Whiteboard Friday Flat Site Architecture a while ago and Rand mentioned there is no issue with having a web page with 200 to 300 links and he even encouraged it.  So why would these show up as warnings in our Campaign?

But SEOMoz also recommends to go up to 300 links per page, per the White Board Video I linked to.

I wish I could get the page below 100 unfortunately, the drown menus are 2 layers deep and I am not sure how to reduce their size to the web crawlers.  It also does not seem to be effecting our site negatively.

SEOMoz recommends to keep them below 100.  Because Google starts out by recommending that links on a page are kept to a reasonable number, which they classify as below 100. This rule of thumb is somewhat outdated and can be traced back to when spiders read a smaller portion of a web page – the more links contained within the page, the longer it was. To ensure its spiders performed effectively, the benchmark of 100 was set. While search engines now read much more of a page before indexing it, having more than 100 links can set off the spam filters and result in a lower perceived page quality.
