By default a post only needs 3 delete votes to be deleted or undeleted, and maxes out at 10 delete/undelete votes. If that's what you're wondering about.
There's now a cap of 10 votes on the required number of delete or undelete votes:
from here on out, it will take at least three and at most 10 votes to delete even the most popular questions, and an equivalent number to undelete them.

Ok so that's been around for quite a bit more than a year...
@animuson You see how quickly you forget things when you become a mod? With a binding delete vote, delete vote caps and things like that don't matter. :P
@JeroenVannevel Depends. If the question is more than 60 days old, no we can't. Otherwise, the option is under Off-topic > This question belongs on another site.
Yeah, and I know the account will not be useful after a couple of them. But one of them is unregistered anyway. Given the volume perhaps this deserves a better look.
Recently, I've noticed a downhill effect in the quality of spam posted on Stack Exchange websites. Take this as an example (found on Space.SE):
There are a great many things wrong with this artifact:
There is not one capitalized letter in the entire post. (-1 grammar point.)
The only pun...
aug 19 - tex.se is under attack. Yes, this is a call to arms. Keep flagging the spam posts while you can, anywhere they go. As this seems much heavier than the initial attack, I will try to notify the tex mods as well.
I have written a userscript for the network-wide real-time feed - just copy/p...
I know you're doing a lot of work on heuristic spam prevention across the network but I wonder if you've got some time to quickly improve the manual side of things. Below is what I see when I arrive at Ask Ubuntu in the morning:
10Kers have a similar lozenge for flags further along the bar.

Sometime I'm going to build a simple website to do the OAuth dance.
@JanDvorak Also, something to remember: With the new (unpublished) 2.2 methods, if you send your access_token over HTTP, they invalidate it on the spot.
We should make a big system (think userscript) that automatically tracks what is flagged as spam, then is posted by a chatbot into here or maybe a dedicated room.
I don't like the idea of vigilante justice, but...
@hichris123 Sort of, but instead of adding it to a list, we track when the users of the userscript flag something as spam. When they do, we either add it to a new list on Charcoal or we post it in a chatroom.

Nice
Oh wait...

what i really dislike with altgr: on windows you can use ctrl+alt instead of altgr to get tertiary keys - but on linux you can't. and in some GTK apps on windows (gajim for example) you also don't. super annoying
the differences are minor, the main thing for me is I hit enter by hitting enter at the top of the key, and US layouts have an additional key there instead and a single height enter key
