One last thought - moderation tends to happen en masse so users revisiting the site are either faced with the same stories as last time, or way too many to read in one go. I know it's probably much easier to moderate like this, so how about having a delay on stories so, although they have been moderated, they are trickle-fed onto the site periodically.
If they were released gradually over the 24 hours (or however long) until the next moderation phase, then everyone revisiting the site would have something new to read each time. It also works for people in other timezones or those who keep unsociable hours. You get the benefit of 24-hour moderation even though your moderator(s) don't have to change their methods at all (or moderate at 4am, even though it'd look as if they were doing exactly that).
It wouldn't work for time-sensitive information like news, but I don't see why it couldn't work for you.
We've thought about this, however I think it's more fair to people to have their submissions put out there as soon as possible and not be artificially delayed. We're constantly trying to improve the rate at which we get to the moderation.
Would you consider paying $ to have your IIN questions featured?
