I also think it would be useful to be able to clean up the bugs after
spam has arrived.  Right now once spam is posted it can never be
removed.  It can only be collapsed into a small font tag if five
people vote that it is spam.  But it never goes away.  I would like to
see it possible to remove it forever from the database.
