answers  Flagging as 'spam' is just wrong. The perps don't
deserve a rep spank.  Flagging for mod is making work for mods.
Could we have a 'flag(or vote) to delete without prejudice?'
For some reasonable N voters at some reasonable rep R, the
answer would go 'deleted'.  Right now, for whole questions, we
require a stack of rep to vote to close, and a big stack of rep
to vote to delete. For flags, we require only a tiny amount of
rep. So, I claim that my proposal is far less abuse-prone than
the current system. Any 6 people with 15 rep can bomb an answer
and impose a big penalty. This proposal would require, oh, 5
people with 10K rep to delete an answer with no rep penalty.
