There's been a lack of moderation because:
1) Very few reports were made, even in cases where after reading through it seems criminally negligent for people not to have reported things.
2) The mods have real lives, and jobs.
3) Even ignoring the first two, a decision would need to be reached on what exactly to do.
That, however, is changing right now, so if everyone would keep their hands, arms and off-topic derailment posting inside the thread...
