Actually we have it in OSM forum and I'm one of the (new) admins who 
take care of spam reports by users. =}

It seems pretty fast and effective system to me, so I guess it could be 
also this way on OSM diary. I don't know where the biggest problem is - 
maybe it's this nagging bar on the forum which motivates me to clean 
things up every time it shows? Wiki page is not that visible probably, 
but there might be some other things which can help making spam removing 
more streamlined.

I hope that moderation queue solution will be finished and merged 
eventually, however I'm not a programmer and I can't offer my help with 
this code.
