We will try to implement what is implementable. With tens of thousands of members, I can imagine a real troll post generating such a firestorm of messages that serious problems could result. I have an alternate suggestion. Make on the same form that you read the messages with, a [kill this message] tag. Each time someone finds a message objectionable, they click on a radio button. Their email address is added to the list of objectors. When sufficient votes are tabulated [from distinct email aliases], the message is put into temporary limbo until the moderators make a final decision. Given enough votes, it might even be possible to override the moderators and remove it even if they did not find it necessary. I can just imagine some poor moderator with 40,000 messages in his in-box.
