There is a mod maybe 20% of the time when I’m there (which is currently several hours each day, usually between 0900 and 1400 Eve Time). I guess more mods are active in US and EU TZ. There’s usually at least one Russian RMT spammer every day and a referral link spammer twice a week if not more often. The filters should catch those links and not display the message unless approved by a mod. But it seems CCP doesn’t care enough about them. ---

Meh. People make up all sorts of things in this game, and then pretend that it’s somehow the status quo. It’s best to question everything, and research for yourself. ---
