Sorry, this doesn't sound too 'open' to me as I fell this is 'power
centralisation' (your opinions may differ, of course).
I still think that crowd may have 'better' {and definitely faster}
decisions than few chosen ones. I think that total offtopic links would
be killed soon, in few tries. And the ones in 'grey' zone - let people
choose.

I wonder why this doesn't happen on atari.org then?

This is the same solution, but it's _much_ easier to remember/use. (Of
course www.lugnet.com/redir/sitename would do, but it's longer,
www.lugnet.com/redir.pl?id=4095849534 is imo too cumbersome).

Of course.
