Perhaps users flagging posts within the thread will be sufficient to dent the reputation of the poster? I think over moderation (unless required) can be a bad thing too, so giving users the control maybe the way to go.

Not sure what you mean by "users" - everyone that is some sort of member can "post", there are other "users" being guests who can only read, there are also, members like me who PAY to have extra access, and "signatures" that are a bit of an advert (which is very obvious).
The least obvious (and most disliked) is that the Moderators do not show what their real life activity is or what self-interests they have.
It's time for Moderators to have TWO "names" and to post personal stuff outside of the Moderator role...
