Sure, this one for starters (I guess there are more):

   http://portland.indymedia.org/

Mir has the ability for features to have comments, I think this is good.

Well although the documentation on moderation on slashdot look
complicated [1] it is actually not that bad and quite easy to use. Also
the documentation was written a _long_ time ago -- it actually has a
_load_ of additional features these days.

Why does it have such a huge system? Basically because the crap that was
being posted there was many, many time worse than the problems we
have...

At some point I'll write a long thing about it...

I'm going to bounce copied of the mail on this thread to the
imc-uk-process list so that it's also archived there.
