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.

"If we just ignore the spammers, they'll stop sending Email"

Trust me, the above statement is completly false.  I think moderation is
neccessary to avoid the link page from being overrun with ads for "free"
medication and "foolproof" get rich quick schemes (among other things).

(...) ? I'm for moderation. But _everybody_ would be one. You'd vote for 'offtopic', I'd vote for 'offtopic', somebody else would do so... and voila, link is removed. The only problem remains in setting the good rules with good weights. (21 years ago, 22-Feb-04, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.publish.html, lugnet.general)
