Question is that do we have reputed members that will be able to handle this responsibility. Most of the old members here are active only in their free time. Moderation on a busy forum like this can be quite time consuming. It can even consume more time that a regular job in some situations.
We wouldn't need someone to do a full time job. You would just need people in a timezone which isn't currently being moderated or someone who reports in times when the spam is too much for the current moderator to deal with.
I'm sure there's several members that are reputable enough for the job.
