I would investigate what technical solutions the CMS offers. Things like red text should be able to be limited; basic filters can strip out style attributes and leave authors with the choice of only a few, pre-defined tags (p, a, headers, lists, etc.) with globally-defined styles. If your CMS can't do that, it's not managing content very well.
And just to be contrarian, Nielsen says multiple exclamation points are good: http://www.nngroup.com/articles/really-break-grammar-rules/ In all seriousness, I was an English major and have a hard time stomaching those recommendations, but hey the web is not an academic paper.
