I had a "mark as spam" button a while back and the problem was that it was abused. Some legitimate comments got over 5 spam reports, however it was also available publicly and maybe too easy to hit accidentally. I prefer moderators because it is not anonymous and they have a better understanding of the guidelines and what is considered spam.
Since moderators were just added today, let's wait a couple weeks for them to get settled in. Then we can open discussion with them as to the best way to clean up the older episodes.
Also see issue #22 for related discussion.
A flag as spam button might be helpful. It shouldn't hide/delete comments, but it could generate a page with reports for moderators to then go through and check.

many older screencasts in the web site has many spam. however those screencasts are still watched and comments are read. for both new and old posts i suggest a "flag as spam" button. so, per se if 5 visitors flag the comment as spam, it would hide.
