While most people are sleeping, in our timezone those scammers are acting freely.

Someone opens BHW front page and the first posts are scammers with multi accounts promoting telegram/whatsapp numbers to scam newbies and install malware on their pc. This tarnishes BHW reputation.

Most BHW mods are Europeans, they are deservedly resting after protecting our community during the day. But right now, there is no one active.

What about hiring new mods? If not, how about giving more power for Executive VIP members? Those white ones, with years of contribution to this forum.

BHW could create a thread for them, some could voluntarily help this forum. If someone doesn't want or doesn't have time, no problem, just volunteers.

No power to ban someone, but power to hide a post, put it invisible to the public and mods, next day, could judge if it's a scam or not - and take proper action.

Only Executive VIP members, white tags, at least 10 years on this forum, idk, maybe less. Maybe only allow the ones without an active BST to avoid complains about censoring competitors xD.

As you can see, I'm not asking benefits for myself, I'm not eligible for anything, but there are super capable, reliable and helpful members who could offer their help.

Just some vague ideas, you guys can certainly think better than me and make this idea much better and feasible.

Or just hire new mods asap. But this situation needs to be solved very quickly, everyday those guys are abusing BHW rules and spamming garbage/scams.

BHW is filled with scammers unfortunately. Lot of the account sellers are straight scammers, even if they are verified. Always be careful.
 
On weekend and during odd work hours for Mods, i have seen the reporting also takes a lot of time. On weekend if you report something it takes hours to get it removed. But on normal day it works better.

Just for weekend or odd hours there should be something.
 
I've also noticed this for a long time. Maybe hire moderators from other time zones, or even better, train a model to detect spam content and hold it for moderation, similar to the AI detection model.
