Garbage was never moderated on StackOverflow, it was always ignored.
Moderation was used by the insiders to keep new people out.

And half the garbage is from people "moderating"! You are literally rewarded points for doing moderating activities, so of course every post is flooded with BS edits, votes to close, etc.. Cobra effect and whatnot.
What points do you get for moderation activity?
You get points for suggesting edits and badges for completing review activities (votes to close, triage, etc). I thought you got points for the latter as well but looks like that's not the case.
