night watchperson required

given the spate of late night spammings, and tonights posting of links to a virus, would it not be possible to give board guide powers to a regular night owl to help safeguard the site for all users?

even if they were only to temporarily edit post pending further investigation?

    It's something that's been discussed before, dont know why it's not implemented as the amount of spam lately has got ridiculous and I can only see it getting worse.

    Dont think it needs to be paid. I'd be happy to volunteer as I am often on the boards while the rest of you are asleep. All it needs is the ability to delete their posts until the MSE team are able to have a look.......

    I just pop in now and then.... :)
