Here's how I would solve it:
- Allow users to subscribe to "Moderators" in their global settings
- Moderators are just pubkeys (but they're not necessarily people)
- Client pulls the mute list of all Moderator pubkeys when the site loads
- Muted people and events are blocked
- Create an anonymous Moderator account. For example, you could call it "ModBot". Add the pubkeys to its mute list
- Make Iris use ModBot as its default moderator pubkey
