I was thinking it would be nice to be able to enable another user to act as ones proxy in limited circumstances. The way it would work is that the user would send a special private message to the proxy account, stipulating what resources the proxy may access on its behalf. So for instance i might want to let im2 send public chatter on my behalf, so i would do something like: 

/msg im2 permit:chatter

[download]

and then when im2 when to send chatter on my behalf op message would look to see if there was a message like that from me, if there was, then it would be allowed. By deleting the message from the users inbox the permission would disappear. A bit of added infrastructure would allow sending the right message, and of putting it in the archive inbox automatically, and not in the deleted as normally happens.

It seems a simple way to provide this type of functionality, and it doesnt compromise our user communities resources.
