As you say, these things will happen from time to time.
What I was wondering is whether the taggers could be given read-only rights to the Admin panel so we could access IP and email adresses for checking purposes.

Another suspect. Looks clean but only logged on for two minutes and the name looks a bit 'made up'.

Clean on google and SFS but worth a better look I think

Looks clean but only logged on for two minutes. One to check.

and

Ira_Bire

again looks clean, but classic spammy cyrillic profile. Probably a nasty!

It happens very rarely, and it's inevitable, really, given the amount of spam out there. As to granting further powers to (some? all?) assassins, it's not my call, but IMO a couple more active slayers wouldn't hurt ...
El Viejo (who retired as a full admin in June) is now a Master Assassin. Also, Master Assassins — DaddyHoggy, Disembodied and El Viejo — now have access to the first-post moderation queue, which apparently wasn’t the case before. (Messages in the queue appear with a big green question mark next to them in listings and are invisible to normal users. There’s also a [Moderator Control Panel] link near the top right of the main page.)

This would ultimately have to be Giles’s call, but I don’t feel that doubling or tripling the number of people with access to private account details is motivated.

Is this visible to everybody? (I'm seeing it, too; but—while being an assassin—I'm not among the master assassins listed by name.)
