We've already had one person banned from the site despite apparently not having actually done anything ban worthy while on the site. We don't need mods making even more decisions of that sort.

We're not suddenly on a slippery slope. Thread bans have been a thing for a while and dumping the worst trolls has been a thing for 15 years. Clay's been banned several times, CoMo did everything except ask to be banned. Neither of those are out of the ordinary in any way.

That said, if we do start making more of those decisions, it's because of the overwhelming response from people who want more moderation.
