Folks,
I'm slightly ignorant of the proper Openguides method for dealing with WikiSpam. (I'm trying to deal with it myself in my own Wiki and not doing terribly well).
If I go to an older version and hit "edit this page" I get the page as it was before the spam. I can then hit save and it seems to update the most recent version of the page. Is this correct?
Should I (a relatively junior member of the team) be removing spam at every opportunity?
Is there more that should be done - such as flagging the change in a particular way, or adding the spam edits IP Addresses to a blacklist?

Depends on the guide - for the London one generally mail me and Earle and we can delete it. Other guides will no doubt have other policies.

No, when you hit edit it gives you the most recent version of the page.

If you mean on the London guide, ask openguides-london@openguides.org
