Its surprising to hear people think this is OK..
Perhaps instead of a ban, you can have a thread/user tool that hides their post with a warning..like 'this user has been deemed to have been trolling this thread, to remove this user from ignore or unhide the posts in this thread, click here' or something...
Isnt there some way of handling this by allowing the users to determine who to ignore and who not to? And still show the users that you have deemed this person a troll?
I would seriously pursue this kind of idea rather than 'thread bannings are great' kind of attitude...and an arbitrary / willy-nilly enforcement of some vague 'don't be TOO negative' "rule"
Just my 2 cents.

I agree with you that a lot of thread bans suck. In some ways, they are even more stupid than actual full site bans. You should take it up with A.C., if you have a strong position on them, though, since the mods are obviously fine with them.
