Emphatically agree on the utility of a "Spam" checkbox. IMHO:
Nodes up for consideration as Spam should allow $reputation == 0 to be reaped. Nodes lose this special consideration as soon as any Keep/Edit votes are cast. I doubt this special case would be abused intentionally, and highly doubt it would be abused even accidentally by 5/5 monks with consideration power. And, if that ever happened, we'd have a genuine PerlMonks conspiracy on our hands, which would no doubt be entertaining.
Reaped "Spam" nodes should go away quickly and quietly, and (perhaps after a 1-2 day grace period) require deliberate effort to find (such as an Include spam? checkbox in Super Search, available to registered users only). Also a huge ++ to the sentiment that unapproved Anonymonk nodes should never be spidered.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
