I am wondering if crosslinking penalties are detected automatically, or must be applied manually as the result of a spam report. I recently took the plunge and <gasp> linked two of my sites together, and am wondering if there is even a remote chance that this may be detrimental. Any info/suggestions would be very helpful.

I would not worry too much about linking two sites if it is done with reason.
This thread and Googleguy's posting might prove to be interesting:

I would imagine it's as a result of spam report. if your cross linking is legitamate you shouldn't worry about it. but, if it's not then i suggest someone you knocked down the list will come after you!
Thank you all for taking the time to clarify this issue for me! I'm very grateful for your feedback and advice!

I tend to think that google automatically detects crosslinking penalties by way of their "Second Eigenvalue of google matrix" algorithm. read this [dbpubs.stanford.edu:8090...] Beware that this is full of maths.
