That is correct there are no in-game moderators.
The spamming issue is currently a problem, especially with all the war message spamming, however, while I have no information on that, I have suggested, (and I know that the suggestion has at least been heard) that we implement a filter on the alliance names, and it was also suggested to remove the war declarations.
Again, while I don't have any details my educated guess is that they might be working on fixing that issue for age two, rather than dealing with it in when they are planning on scrapping the first age anyways.
