Since this would be a system-wide change, not English-only, we should discuss it over here, too.
You will not solve a single "problem" by banning. All these problems are communication problems or these involved parties are simply psycho cases needing our support.
Thus, no banning actions, please.
Disadvantages:
- Like all banning mechanisms, it could be abused.
- If the IP is shared by "innocent" parties, they also get blocked.
Yes, these are the side effects making bans even more eval.
