It wasn't me.  I have never done this or heard about it.

I have discussed a system that would let readers vote on whether a post 
was good, bad, spam, off-topic, offensive, or whatever.  Then these 
ratings would be available to others reading the list so they can skip 
posts with poor ratings.

On the early Extropians chat list, we discussed a lot of ideas like 
this to automate list functions.  I don't know of any that actually 
materialized, unfortunately.
