That's not moderation. That's a lack of moderation. Comments like this weren't posted by mods but by people looking for stuff to answer. A mod would definitely delete such a comment if they were notified about it. But not enough users flagged stuff and preferred to complain about being hurt instead. There's also a problem that not enough mods were present at all times to handle the volume of comments posted.

"don't post your CS homework" is exactly the type of toxic comments that are not allowed on the site. Such a comment should have been flagged and would be deleted by moderators. Homework questions are welcome on SO.
