Igor Chudov's software lets people like Matt Blase and Bruce Schneier post whatever they want. (I would add people like Black Unicorn as well. YMMV) Other posts go into a pool accessible to all moderators. If one moderator approves, the message goes out. If N reject, it is rejected. These rejections could either be anonymous or be included in an x-moderators-rejecting: header for the "worst of cypherpunks" list.
Let me guess. Frantz started with electronic copies of Mein Kampf, 1984 (originally 1948), Brave New World, and Animal Farm, and did some judicious substitutions: Substitute "moderator" for "censor". Substitute "pool" for "concentration camp". Substitute "reject" for "liquidate". And, they could do this anonymously, like the Gestapo, SS, LAPD, FBI, CIA, FEMA, BATF, you get the picture.
