If the higher up mods clearly don't want to run the show anymore it is natural, just and right to rely those who do.

They are still running the show. Making your subreddit private is, or at least used to be, a perfectly legitimate way of running things. Remember, reddit added that feature to their website.

There's still automod that you can use to just delete everything the moment it appears.
