Revisiting this many weeks later: what do you think of the idea of super users who can be delegated an ability to silence/quarantine other posters?

Maybe if they only had the ability to flag a user and put them in "time out, and it couldn't stack or be consecutive from one superuser, etc?
I dunno. It might be a good way to help police the content without making people volunteer to be full on mods. And it can be treated as a semi privileged role, that expires are X months and only X number ofnactive users in good standing can have at once?
A little complex to implement, but it might at least let mods crowdsource the task of stemming the worst of things.
