The result of this poll is potentially misleading. The pros/cons and different types of implementation are much more interesting than a mere yes/no/dont_care. A poll should be held after such discussion has been held.
Voting is also anonymous, don't have to say what you voted for
and you cannot see the results until the poll is closed because this influences the voter.
Users can rate and tag threads already. Users can thank for posts. This is all great for a DIY community. The users make the forum, basically. Users can also report posts. IMO a great feature, but sometimes action is a bit late.
It is difficult to get the forum data in a wiki (and move one wiki to an other) because it requires a lot of dedication (and incentive).
I think its best if some users are moderators without behaving like moderators. Without anyone to know. And all they do is move threads to the correct forum and perhaps fix a typo in a subject, or make a subject more accurate. This kind of behaviour. If a user really misbehaves they could be send a warning by PM or e-mail by the moderator team. If you keep the moderators anonymous you also keep the relations between people on a similar ground, and the bad guys won't be able to know when or who to flame/troll.
