Can Service Section be free of Self Moderated Thread?

It's more a discussion than a suggestion, I have created this thread in order to have some discussion with the community whether self-moderation is needed or not in Service section.



Yesterday, Privcy Foundation had started a signature campaign which was self-moderated. I had added a post regarding his fake campaign and he deleted the post.
As per the rule of self-moderated thread, he has the right to delete any post.
There are no rules to self-moderation. In self-moderated threads, replies belong to the OP. In other threads, replies belong to the respondents individually. Think carefully about whether you want to reply to a self-moderated topic, as your post may not be given due respect.

Why do we need self-moderated thread in Service Section?
Most probably avoiding posts increase by account farmers (assuming pre-merit time) and avoiding shitpost from signature campaign hunters.
Is there any other necessity of enabling self-moderated thread there?

Since account farming is almost impossible nowadays, people may create shitposts only for maintaining the requirements of signature campaigns. But those will not be too much. Currently, I don't think more than 5%(I assume, probably not more than 2%) users create self-moderated thread in Service Section. Are we having a lot of spam there now?
