Well, if the submitters use "for:tagschema", then the user tagschema 
acts as an editor.  They would go through the inbox, delete garbage 
postings, or tag good ones with a "postme" tag (for example).

The website would then display all links tagged "postme", so only 
edited links are displayed.

As for the size of the extended field ... you'll need to bug Jason 
about that.  :)
