So either the spam bot is able to enter this in, or the two accounts I looked at were run by humans. This proves that they have the ability to enter things into these fields. After all, it is required.
Some of them have entered 0007 or another number. At least one entered FTC as its competition. And the titles are getting more believeable. There was one "about" build season and another "about" motors.

Just a thought: What do people think about students serving as moderators or maybe in a position like a moderator but with less power?

I wouldn't be opposed to student moderators. I think that they should just have restrictions on what they're allowed to do. As others have said, there are some students that would probably be great moderators, and some adults who wouldn't.

That sounds like a good idea. Maybe if student moderators could only "hide" posts, then adults would review them and decide whether or not to delete them?
