I agree wholeheartedly with cut. Forum moderation... moderation in general has certainly slacked over the years.
Possible solutions:
-Recycle admins. We do this already but we have become rather lenient on it. An admin inactive for more than two weeks should be replaced by a more active one.
-Introduce new chat and forum moderators. Basically, read this thread:

-Introduce new chat plugins for anti swearing and caps (Stym's server has a good example of this. It works well).
-Moderate forums more: Delete inappropriate posts, move/delete threads, give warning levels, etc.
-Make the application system more visitor friendly. Options for this include: Add a visitor accessible freebuild, rewrite the application and trial guides to give the visitor a better idea of what they're expected to do, Merge build and school applications (Perhaps a "Which server are you applying for" field in the application"), include some admin-written "sample applications" in the Read before Posting thread which demonstrate adequate application length and content.
-Keep our admins consistent on our standards of applications and trial.
