TA does not use moderators, at least not as the first level of control. They rely on the community to self police. After X number of people reporting a post, it automatically gets deleted without human intervention. All it takes is a few members ganging up via PM and your post can be gone in minutes. There is a way to complain and have a human look at it to be reopened, but it seems to be intentionally designed to make it difficult to figure out how to contact someone. I understand that there is a limit to how many times you can report posts in a particular time frame to prevent abuse, but it does not seem to help much.
