Well moderators are necessary to remove trolls. If your comments really were so trollish they felt the need to do that, I wonder why they didn't just ban you outright.

But with the choice they made, it requires more human intervention, both on the shorter term (i.e. policing comments to find trolls and mark their accounts) and the longer term (i.e. policing marked accounts and unmarking them when their comments become consistently high quality), and that's a lot of work, and too subject to flawed bias, which is why it's a flawed choice.
