A lot of us are in similar time-zones, so when a spammer comes, there may not be any staff online.

Plus, Reviewers have the power to ban spammers, but we can't move or delete posts. So when you see some spam, the bot may be banned but we have to wait for a moderator to junk the post.

Le gasp! How are we to atone to our ancestors?
We are this sorry to have let you down. Are we now allowed to stop groveling at your feet?

On various asides, deploying a behavioral scan/detect/autopurge solution may be a bit unnecessary for forums this small, even if it was to run only when no staff is currently online.
