The Steam Community is a cesspool, and a good part of that is owed to the lack of any centralized moderation. Game communities are moderated by publishers, developers, or their chosen volunteers or employees. If a game is forgotten, its community becomes totally unmoderated, and there's nothing like Reddit's auto-bans to prune these abandoned communities.

Also... pretty sure they just let community moderators do anything they want as long as it's not outright illegal.

It's the same in most gaming related communities, as it's largely the same people that inhabit them.
