Back to his moderating mod - letting someone moderate in a persistent story 
(aka a bender story since they're never archived) that they've already 
posted in:

Would this be a good case where using a story param could be used to mark a 
story 'nomoderatorlocking'?

So, after modifying article.pl, and/or one of the templates that has the 
show/no show for the moderation stuff, you'd be able to turn moderation on 
all the time for any particular story.
