There's so many good Voaters, I have another couple of suggestions, if this should be considered. Rather than making a permanent crew of anti-spammers, how about making it a term limited kind of deal. You choose a team of five or six with the mod status, they serve in the position (voluntarily) for say three to six months, then the anti-spam mod team is replaced with another set of volunteers. Or you could stagger it, so there's experienced and novices. That way it never turns into a power mod kind of thing ... and other deserving Voaters with good reps, and there are lots of them, are given the opportunity, if they accept, to take their turn. All mods to be selected and/or removed from position by Putt. (Edit: And you can be a repeat anti-spammer, just not back to back terms)

It would also be nice, if done, that any spam reports made by users are also routed via a message to the anti-spam team, so that any online at the time gets the flag and can act on it, should it otherwise be missed, or not acted on by sub mod.

If also applied to trolls, this could go a long way in solving that problem, too. The ability of a small group to disable a troll in his/her tracks. But that's another story.
