I like the suggestion, but it has practical implementation constraints for any automated approach.
I can add this issue to the agenda for the next moderator meeting. We prefer not to delete any messages ever, openness and transparency is an important goal for EvC Forum, but perhaps we should make an exception for pure spam in old threads since it can inappropriately bring old threads to the top of thread lists.

There's a feature that is occasionally but consistently requested: message copying and moving. This would make possible the solution you suggest, which I like.
Honest spammers would simply post to the spam thread and save us the trouble.
I'll put it on the todo list.
