If the admins are the only ones that ever do any work on .ml, why do the communities even have moderators?

Yeah, community moderators may also understand the context of the community better. Normal trolls and spammers can be taken care of by anyone, but if there's a derogatory name for a sports team, for example, you need to know the context to understand what's happening.
And in that vein, lots of conflicts can be handled without reaching for the ban hammer. Just having a dedicated person that does the handling is good to have.
