Say I start this thread -- 1000 people log in to GFY (include lurkers in this calculation) -- then take say 10% needed to kill... So if 100 people vote to kill a thread -- it should die just like that! You could even have the kill thread checkbox in the right column... Then anything that you don't want to read -- bam bam bam -- you just go down the list and try to kill all the threads that look pointless...

I think it would work -- you could play with the percentage... Then GFY would be MORE INTERACTIVE!
Like Karma ? One of the main slashdot style news sites does that. And I think a CMS named Drupal did that. Except in the latter, all threads were member-moderated and they didn't become public until enough members voted to publish it. At the same time, enough members could view the thread as trash and kill it.
