Because it is not moderated. For a while spam filters did a decent job,

On the subject of spam filters, are they still in place?  I know that most
of the random spam I get on a given day is one of 5 messages, almost word
for word.  Seems like things like that should be easy to filter ...

Here's an idea.  Are there different settings/different spam filters that
could be used?  How about set it up so that it boots anything that it
thinks even look like spam, and that gets sent to a moderater, but
everything else just gets sent.  Might even be worth having something like
a "trusted" list, ie people who've posted a lot in the past are considered
unlikley to spam, as opposed to someone new?  I don't know if either of
those are possible, but it seems like, if it could be done, it would cut
down on the moderators workload.
