I think Link's idea is a good one. I would like to add a few things:
1. What to do with the old articles? Should we remove the non-top quality ones?
2. If we have an approval process the admins might also get the option to fix grammar/spice up the article layout.
3. We could have "admin approved" articles which show up, with the option to show the other, non-approved(or old and bad) ones also.

However, the implementation of it might be rather tricky, or at least more work for the j2ov2 team. That's their decision though. For what it's worth, I think that is a good idea.

Well, J2Ov2 has a super-moderator-ish user status(called 'newsposter' and 'download admin' sadly) which allows us to appoint special people for it. I have built in options even for a permission system(like, this regular user can edit articles, etc) but it doesn't work yet. It's no priority.

It could also have links to downloads that have gotten an 8.0+ rating recently.
That, of course, would be more of a convenience than something essential.

Something like that has been in the work with the 'nodes', the content part of the site(you know, the characters, about, partymode thing). We could adapt it for the other things too. It's has priority though, i'll put it on the wishlist like many other things suggested in this thread.
