Well, for one thing, we've got way too many

banners at the top of pages are annoying and irrelevant to

I guess we could rewrite the css to place them in a sidebar.
Short of stopping people posting spam and personal opinion I'm not
sure what else could be done about that.
Then you're not thinking very hard! We could show them only to
registered users and not anonymous users. Or only to registered
users who self-identify as "editors". We could, as you say, move
them into a sidebar. We could move them off the page entirely,
and (effectively) into [[Category: Articles needing ___]].
(Where is it written that editorial cleanup tags must necessarily
be visible to every reader?) We could make them dismissible,
so that anybody who didn't want to see them didn't have to.
There's lots of things we could do!
(Actually, I think I like the idea of making them dismissible
best of all.)
