I personally don't think the "we're all adults here" argument flies very well. That assumption seems to have been the general operating principle of this group for awhile, and it hasn't turned out to be exactly true... more so wishful thinking :). And if that were true, we wouldn't need a voting system on posts.
A voting system is also useful for those who just want to see the gems and not wade through the detritus.
I've looked at a few systems, and have never seen one that integrates seamlessly with news. I keep toying with writing one, but that requires supporting FreeBSD with D first <g>. Yeah, I would do it in D. The webnews thing we currently use is in PHP, and it frankly shows how desperate things are to have to use it.
