Description
### Description
In matrix.org rooms when using a matrix.org account, spam removal/redaction events often don't sync at all even hours later. This seems to be a server bug since it seems to happen to multiple people with multiple clients. Since some spam is highly disturbing depending on the images sent, this seems like a notable problem. Deletions really should always sync even if there's a delay, but this doesn't seem to be the case.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Witness a mass spam event of 20+ spam messages, often containing disturbing media, in one of the bigger matrix.org channels.
2. Eventually some admin will start deleting messages. You're almost guaranteed to still see 10% of them hang around forever, apparently often stuff other people will report was deleted on their end.
