There are a couple of problems with moderation:
1) It's slow - because every item has to read and approved by someone who understand the subject. That's why Cp only has moderation for articles and so forth: there is too much to do otherwise. Even with that limit here, it can still take hours to get an article moderated, depending on the load (and the moderation queue actually being a stack where you only see the latest five entries doesn't help that when it's busy).
2) Who does it? In order for moderated forums to work, you need moderators online 24/7 - and probably more than one at any specific time to cover work / sickness / food breaks / etc. To get that coverage means employees, probably 6 or more in three different time zones (so they can work 8 hour shifts) and can cover for each other within a time zone. And how much is that going to cost? People who know the subject tend to be both expensive, and uninterested in that job... If you use volunteers as CP does for articles, then you need to have a "trust" system to ensure that only those who will let things through based on merit rather than bias of some form, and you have to "trust" a significant number of individuals to get anything like 24/7 coverage. And persuade them that it's a job worth giving their valuable time for...

Thankfully, hamsters are basically lazy creatures, who don't want to go to that kind of trouble.
Moderated forums are run by wolverines, who spend all their time looking for something to sink their fangs into.

Assuming the wolves can be bothered in the first place. 
I just emailed JetBrains about the problem with theirs. In the past they've always taken the time to reply to me. It doesn't mean they always change, so like MPs, they hear but they don't always listen. 
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

Yes, the moderation is a pain, but it's better than the regular floods of spam they were getting a couple of years back. Especially as they don't have the community-powered "this user is a dickhead Message Automatically Removed" feature!

I was too slow tonight, I couldn't figure out anything better than this:

I didn't want to re-use 'fruit' but couldn't find a better alternative fast enough.

So they'll have to mind their P's and Q's, and cue up for a pee.

They'll have to queue up before they cue up.

Wouldn't that have them minding their Q's and P's?

The Two Ronnies!
I knew it sounded familiar, as I typed "cue up for a pee" (I was worried that I was stealing someone else's joke).
They did the same thing with "queue up for a pee"
