What's up with all the spammers on this site? Most sites ban them on their first offence, but there are a bunch several days old.

We do not have any moderators...I stop in and erase huge bunches of spam, but they hit on weekends and post a ton, in a hurry...

Forums generally have a spam blocker. If someone has been reported as a spammer their IP address is logged and therefore can't join another forum. Obviously some get through.

Its hard to keep the software up to date.
