Spot on......and I guess that is the question I had that was asked long ago and remained unanswered. I know that software is available because some meaningful changes did happen after I decided to stop moderating out of frustration. Since the last update it looks at least to my eyes that we are sliding right back into a spot where there are more spam members signing than regular members which definitely negatively impacts the site. When I am looking at the site I always take notice of the newest member listed at the bottom. I then click on the profile and in most instances see a new member with obvious spam intentions. This goes on all day. On my last week of moderating I deleted and banned over a hundred of them. I then determined my time was too valuable to spend trying to plug a leaking dam.
