The problem is that many people don't want to be bothered with managing
their own personal killfile and would rather that work be offloaded to
"the moderators" (which is mostly what they get on the centralized
forums) so they don't have to bother with it.

  BTW: As early as 1994, there was a suggestion called "GROUPLENS":
  "An Open Architecture for Collaborative Filtering of Netnews."

  We also have some moderated newsgroups in the USENET.
