It's not the posts we want to delete though, it's the users that make 
the posts (deleting a user hides all their posts). Deleting users is not 
something we want to make happen automatically on the basis of some sort 
of public vote ;-)

If somebody wants to build a system with a button that triggers some 
sort of hiding/referral of a post then fine. It's not a high priority on 
my personal list of things to do but if somebody feels it is an itch 
they'd like to scratch then all well and good.

Well if enough people can tag a post as spam it would effectively
disappear from the site to be reviewed and/or deleted, maybe you could
have a more extensive rating system, don't know, but this would allow
native speakers of various languages to tag something as spam even if
it doesn't look it at first glance to a non-native speaker.

Why not make use of crowd sourcing?

Accounts spamming are banned.
They're usually caught in good time by our master admin.
