I am not totally opposed to the concept, but we have to think carefully. Every change to the tools gives rise to changes in the equilibria. Will we have to sit through watching some troll be successively banned from one action after another as people cry "Why prevent him from editing articles about Chemotherapy?

In the case of a recidivist copyviolater, simply banning image uploading seems like a sensible move, though. However, that would imply banning it for all anons too - almost certainly a good thing.
