Like I said, not everybody wants only that binary all-or-nothing choice 
when it comes to all regular posters.  I'm not really sure what your 
complaint here is, since we'd still be able to use kill files in both 
the moderated and unmoderated groups.  The only difference is that one 
group would be a total free-for-all like it is now, and the other one 
would have community standards that are voted on and can be revised 
democratically by the group's members.

It's obvious this topic has generated a lot of interest, based on how 
many replies this thread has garnered in just a couple of days.
