Too many wither skulls on my Minecraft server

I noticed that my server was lagging due to high number of wither_skulls. There were 70k wither skulls. Does anyone know why this is happening? Even if I kill all the wither skulls, they start to increase very fast (100 in a few minutes). Does anyone know how to limit the number of specific entities (wither skulls) If there are more than x amount of wither skulls, it would run a command to kill them all, or is there any other way?

Anarchy server players doing anarchy things, more news at 11? I'm pretty sure "Do everything possible to make the server owner mad" is one of those unwritten rules of anarchy servers.
