I don't like the idea of banning anyone outright, but perhaps mods could flag a user as an troll/instigator and then individual users visiting that sub could toggle whether to include/exclude people who are flagged?
That would allow each user to treat each sub they visit as either a bouncy house or a wild west saloon depending on their personal preference.

Better tagged than banned though since at least your comment is still visible to fellow anarchists.

Another idea: How about limiting the number of subs a user can create/moderate to 1, and requiring a number of comment participation points for each additional sub (to a maximum of 5 or 10 subs).

That kinda sucks :(
People would make alts to get around it too.

yea, but doing it that way takes a bit more effort, compared to just being able to do it all without limits from the same account. Especially because each brand new account has no participation points, thus limited functionality (up/downvote).
I'm just thinking of ways to use the 'barrier / filter' of the participation points to try to reduce the issue of people controlling too many subs

I would be totally cool with a publicly viewable ban-list, even better if I could leave a short comment on why the person was banned.

Forced transparent mod actions would be nice as well, as an option maybe, maybe also the reason for deletion could be an optional thing for the mod to tag to the removal/etc, so the user(s) could see the logic in modding.

Probably best if instead of an active link, they post a screenshot of the comment/link that got the person banned.
That way, even if the link is something illegal, those visiting said link would have to type it in by hand.

Would be a tad difficult if the name of the poster was offensive.

I don't really see why it'd be a problem.

Agreed. We aren't SJW's here, I think our feelings can stand an offensive name in a ban list.
