I never said anything about moderating comments up
I think that's a good idea, actually.
Anyone remember clickBOOM's Portal service? Any user had the option to mark a poll/list for deletion. After three marks, it was automatically deleted.
Something similar could work here. An "Alert!" button at the bottom of posts. Members with a longer chronological presence on A.Org would get more power. IE, someone who's been here 6 months has 1 vote. Year-old members could get 2 votes, 1.5 years, 3 votes, etc. After something like 10 alert votes, a post would automatically be deleted or reported directly to moderators for a decision. The number of alert votes on a post should be kept private to avoid swaying opinions - each member should independently come to a conclusion.
Safeguards to prevent abuse would be the hard part...
