Yes interested!!

I try to do my part.... M-F, I usually pop in and out of the queue about
6:45am - 4pm eastern time.
By that time, you heavy hitters have obviously already been doing your
part... I never find more than 60ish.

One of our "escort" spammers who was bozo'd a few hours ago. He's now
trying to post copies of genuine questions in the hopes of getting
something published. I'm loathe to block him atm as this is one of the 3
accounts whose posts got past Akismet earlier today. So I guess it would
be better if we didn't encourage him to create another account.

I think I have a moderator account (I can mark and delete individual spam
posts), but I don't see an option to mark someone as bozo (there's no Edit
link in user profiles). Hence my previous email to this list, asking to
block an obvious spammer.

I can do it on ru.forums.wordpress.org though, where I'm an administrator.
Perhaps only administrators can actually mark someone as bozo?

Sergey, I'll fix that for you in a second. Ain't no reason you're not an
admin except I can never remember your user ID ;)

The tl;dr is "Moderators can delete posts, Admins can bozo/block users"

(Sorry, I was sick last night, got back from the eye doctor at 2pm and
spent my night on a couch wishing I was dead)
