    Is this impossible due to Matrix’s design, or is it poor moderation from server admins?

    Kinda both. The design does not inherently destroy rooms permanently afaik, and server moderators don’t do enough to prune bad things either way. It’s a never-ending game of whack-a-mole. People have also been (ab)using its file upload capabilities to use matrix as a global, free, unlimited CDN, sometimes even for completely (to normal users) hidden content using custom message types hiding in plain sight.
