That solution is absolutely horrible. Now you’re asking a moderator to decide what has merit and what does not. Who are they to decide? If I down vote something, I don’t want someone coming behind me and saying you know what this down vote doesn’t have merit, so I’m going to ban him. Imagine if we did that in the workplace. Your disagreement doesn’t have merit so I’m going to exclude you from now on from these meetings. The older I get the more I feel that the people who are upset about their comments getting down voted, somehow need their opinions validated, or maybe it’s anxiety, but there’s something deeper going on beyond just a comment on a message board. What you’re suggesting is completely counter to a democratic society.
