Yeah, I hope they're just on the back-burner and haven't been abandoned completely. I think it would be a good encouragement for people to keep reporting.

The number of posts per week dropped more than 80% in the last 16 months, from
350k per week to
60k per week. I'd say there's simply less spam to report
Well there seemed to be a drastic drop merely in the last few months. I'm talking like going from 1k+ reports in the queue to around a mere 100 or so. It wasn't that long ago when we were seeing 2k+ as well.
Some of the people who have insane reporting numbers are also the most divisive forum members, and troll or try to troll certain forum members into either leaving or rage quitting. It would probably not be a good look for these people to be wearing a moderator hat.
