They're probably simply overloaded right now. Traffic has shot up several fold over the course of a few days and many of the people don't understand the rules yet. From my recollection, these sorts of comments would usually be removed fairly promptly. For a comparison of mod teams, /r/moderatepolitics has 18 moderators (plus bots) compared to this community's 3. Likewise, the instance has 7 moderators.
Exactly. Removed it now. Sorry for the growing pains.
