Aside from major software upgrades, I am now manually screening all new members. A large quantity of accounts that have been inactive for a considerable period of time with no posts have been disabled to where they can neither post or send PMs hopefully removing the long term "sleeper spambots" from the scene. Also, PM privileges won't kick in until after 20 posts into the foreseeable future.
