However it could be that flagged seriously messed up adverts can be removed via a decentralised voting process since we already have decentralised voting built into bitbay. I think they would have to be seriously illegal and undesirable to most for them to bother voting them off though. Most people are not going to bother voting off things that are grey areas or things that are not universally recognised as offensive. It would take a bit of planning.
"Undesirable to most people" means that a small fringe group is no longer allowed to meet their needs?
Democracy is the dictatorship of the majority over the minority?
Do we seriously want to continue the state mischief in cryptospace?
In OpenBazaar one has the possibility to block unwanted sellers and their offer. The moral superiority can therefore be given to oneself, but is not imposed on others.
Which wallet market client or qt wallet? it should sync faster than that for five hours. what OS? and have a slow internet?

Well perhaps bay can use openbazaar's model.
However, if a small fringe for example wants to sell CP then that small fringe should not be allowed to spoil things for the greater majority.
It's a case of getting a balanced and enjoyable user experience without any central point of moderation.
People may not want to load up the marketplace and have to go through the process of blocking things they didn't wish to be confronted with in the first place. This could slow or damage the adoption more than over zealous moderation even.
This is just my opinion of course.
These moderation keys have been one area that has been discussed before and a few people have said it does not seem the best way to go. I think there could be a decentralised approach to sensible moderation possible for extreme instances.
This aspect is not a deal breaker for most I would suspect in light of the other significant advantages for trustless decentralised trading. I do think though that having moderator keys is something that must be phased out eventually.
