My two cents: I'm down with moderating out the trolling/flaming that's going on, but I think that until off-topic posting becomes a real problem, it should be allowed. "Me too" posts are also useful for gaugeing interest, so I'd rather have any moderation system filter out posts that are actually negative to the community atmosphere, and not posts that are of questionable value.
