A list level master-override switch to moderate everyone temporarily;
yeah, that's what I think he's asking.

I'd assume he simply wants one more list-level "should postings be
treated as moderated" flag that could be toggled in realtime, that
would be checked right before (or after) the per-user one.  In general,
I think that's a good idea.

It probably needs a Rude Solo Light, though.
