Can’t you let the market decide though? Sometimes automated moderation only has to be “good enough”. It’s probably best to err on the side of caution and be pretty aggressive with bans/deletion of posts. If commenters don’t like the degree of that they can complain and have it revised if overly aggressive or simply move on. You are much more likely to weed out the trolls that way than lose “the best commenters”.

I dunno. People often say moderation is hard, I think I summarized some reasons why. But my point was that I don’t think they apply in this case. It is possible moderation isn’t hard, or that it is hard for reasons I missed.
