I supect they will allow other users to "flag" innappropriate content which they would then investigate. That is how YouTube and many other such user submitted content driven sites work.
Although, it is unclear how Microsoft plans to allow users to distribute their games. From the
XNA FAQ on microsoft.com:

Q: How exactly can I share my 360 game to other 360 users? Will my game only be available to people with the XNA “Creators Club” subscription? Will it be available to all 360 users that have an Xbox Live account?
A: There is currently no supported way to share binaries on the Xbox 360. Currently, there are four requirements that must be met in order to share a game targeting Xbox 360 which is developed with XNA Game Studio Express.
1. The individual you are planning to share the game with must be logged in to Xbox Live and have an active subscription to the XNA Creators Club
2. The receiving user must have downloaded the XNA Framework runtime environment for the Xbox 360
3. The receiving user must have XNA Game Studio Express installed on their own development PC
4. The game project, including all source and content assets, must be shared with the receiving user. The receiving user then compiles and deploys the game to their Xbox 360.

Perhaps eventually Microsoft will decide to allow users to distribute binaries to others, though I doubt they will ever allow them to be sold.
