There's room for innovation. If enough people downvote, or flag a post, and those people have enough interaction with the community, let's say posting credit, or comments, or account age etc etc etc then a bot could auto remove posts. Kind of like craigslist does, or at least put those posts into a quarantine queue until a human can release it

There's many problems with automatic removals though. It can be abused for instance.
