What would a moderator normally do? Delete comments, issue warnings, ban if necessary. So they can just do the same thing. Nothing changes on their end, but for the user, they're only banned from one curated feed and not from the topic. I guess eventually a user might want to occasionally submit stuff that doesn't belong in every feed, maybe they indicate that somehow, if they care. For most people this isn't a big deal and for the 99% of lurkers it just lets them pick what curated feed to view.

Sounds like you want to flip the model upside down, all the mods would have to approve every post that jives with their POV in order to filter on them.

Now, break the rules and get your post deleted (or however it works there).
