Repost this to the /v/pizzagatemods subverse if you want actual answers from mods. Most were picked by track record / length of time of account existence. And until recently and I suspect the rule has been reinstated no one who requests to be a mod is allowed to be a mod, meaning the offer is extended from the old guard. However, it is the mod(s) responsibility to delete things, or more correctly to enforce the rules of the subverse (now subverses) such as this post being in the wrong subverse.
