Bryan I think you have to take the moderated thread idea further.... a moderated thread's limitation is that it offends some people....those excluded are bound to find out about it, and after that inclined to dislike that member who excluded them...that does not promote harmony in the community and ultimately might decrease traffic to your site.
Because we user's know we may offend, we are not likely to use the moderated thread concept in its present format.

The only solution is to have completely private threads called the "underground". Sure you're thinking well no one but the underground user's can "see" that so if too popular it might make open traffic disappear and ultimately discourage new users but I don't think so........there already is a form of underground communication already called "pming" and that certainly hasn't hurt anything now has it???.....all this new format would do is make "pming" better by allowing easy and private group communication.....
