Once those posts are selected, I will delete them, as to be as objectively impartial and fair to all users whose posts may or may not be spam.

Since this method will require the least amount of judgment and will not rely on any biases, we can then be satisfied that all moderator actions are, to the best of our no-peeking ability, free of human-error.

Let me know if this sounds like a good idea.
I think it's fantastic. I might delete every 10th thread just to be consistent.
