An alternative approach that will be less destructive and easier to implement would be to filter out comments tagged as spam from the comment list for all users without editbugs - including unauthenticated requests the commenter (where appropriate).

We wouldn't need to put it on a delay as it's trivial to revert and we wouldn't have to take any extra measures to hide the comment history from search engines.
