Mike,

I'm sure "processor shaving" is something people with no other way of shaving will start to try. There is one good thing that Executive Stats and NATS have that helps to prevent or dedect that kind of stuff happening (maybe MPA3 has that too, I am not sure though). Both offer membership management, so if the app is used only for protecting the members area, the member has to be added to the app's database. So the app can find members it did not add by itself in the list of members. Not a perfect thing of course, but something you can take a look at at least.

And you are correct, like I said further up, trust in the program owners/managers is more important than trust in the software they run. But if the trust in the software they run is already non-existant, it just makes it harder to trust the owners/managers, don't you think?
