   I would like to suggest a “down-light” option. Enough downlights could moderate a post into oblivion. Then you would truly have a representation of the “community” opinion on something.

You assume that the membership is representative of the community.(?)

Yes. You need to put some skin in the game, somewhere. Sure, you could allow “registered” users to downlight, but personally, I’d leave it to members, people who care enough to put the smallest of donations in.

I’m not saying that all of the community should be allowed to vote. However, I’d like to point out that you are now assuming that only members have donated to LUGNET. I know that is quite wrong; I’m not, and I have. ;)
