Historically I’ve been handling these tasks, but sometimes I have other commitments and take a while to clear the backlog (cleared now). It’ll be good to have at least one other person who feels responsible, but there have been no regular editors on LW wiki for a long time, and it’s difficult to judge based on activity in different modes. On the other hand, there is probably little point in the judging, since everything is reversible, including the adminship.
(So far as I can see, we didn’t have too much of an unattended spam infestation, and given that there are usually no repeated postings by the same spammer accounts, clearing out the pages works just as well as anything else. Banning by IP once led to preventing access to a normal user, so I don’t do that anymore, and the spam under current captcha is rare enough. One note though: there is no need to rename the pages, this only creates an additional alias, and it’s all clear from the log anyway.)
A note of thanks to you, Vladimir. You’re doing a great job, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who appreciates it. (This reads a little stiff—Australian males are not well trained in gratitude—but it’s heartfelt. Thanks.)
meta: You replied to my comment with a note directed to V. Because you replied to me, I received notification of your comment (but he didn’t). To see your praise he’d have to check back here. If you’d commented on his comment and said something like “I second matt’s thanks” you’d have communicated the same thing but V’d have been more likely to see it.
I especially think the post summaries on sequence pages will be handy to lots of people.
I don’t understand why you stated this here. I neither participated in writing of post summaries, nor plan to, and I even think that adding post summaries to primary sequence pages might be a bad idea, if they are too wordy.

Seconded. I especially think the post summaries on sequence pages will be handy to lots of people.

Ah, ok. I thought I remembered seeing some edits from you adding post summaries. Anyway, I like the post summaries.
