When news.admin dies, the moderated one can be renamed. I agree, it would give everyone what they want (a free forum, a less noisy forum), without really compromising what either wants to prevent (censorship and unwanted noise). I don't know that it would be 'neat' to put it in alt though, I think it would fit better here as news.admin.{something}.
