Well, Duh! Of course we own it because we want to control the content. We are not going to post anti-Amazon.com infomation on our own site, and we are going to post reviews that are off topic or incorrect.
That is completely moronic reasoning. Why would you not be allowed to control what is put
on the site without claiming ownership of it?
By that logic, I could demand that you put
this comment on your site since you don't own it.
I disagree. To gain karma they need to write good comments and/or moderate appropriately. As long as they're doing that, I don't care if they're doing it to gain karma or for more altruistic reasons.
At least as long as they don't get obnoxious about their high karma. And even that would probably be mostly self-correcting.

the reason I think moderation is a chore is because 1) all of those select boxes make the page load and render slowly
The reason that I find moderation to be a chore has nothing to do with the mechanism behind it. Normally I set my threshold around 2 to take advantage of the work that the current moderators have done. But when I have moderator points, I set my threshold lower so that I can do some of that work myself. If I could moderate at any time, I wouldn't bother to lower the threshold and very little of what I'd see would need further moderation.
I think that the current system of assigning moderator points does a good job of distributing the work of moderating. The main idea for a change that I can think of would be to assign moderation points separately for each story (something like, there have been 10 comments, the next eligible moderator to enter the comments section gets a point). I think that this would be a better way of preventing the possible problem of not having any moderators read the comments for an article, but it might not be as good as the current system in avoiding moderator bias.
