I don't think oslo was suggesting anything other than a zero-tolerance policy for spam. I think he was suggesting that spam cleanup was not an urgent need, which is something that reasonably people can disagree with and that he is wrong about.

To wit: I think he's saying that spam cleanup here is adequate (I disagree, since Wes' recent absence) and that he fears that making additional moderators may lead to unpleasant changes (and here I agree with him).
