There are other things you can do, too, like putting folks on probation to
start with, etc. that will reduce the noise level.
The folk from Cthulhu don't need probation, they need expulsion because
they are not people at all.
People are comparatively easily dealt with; but spambots are something
altogether different.

Maybe RR will consider letting the community run the groups.
I've been lobbying for that, and would welcome it. Being able to ban IPs
is effective, but easily misused, intentionally or not. But there are
enough conscientious people in the community that grant such privileges to
a handful who can use them well would help keep the noise down.
Another thing I'd like to see is the ability to delete accounts. Right
now all the banned spambots still have their accounts in the system,
filling the list of users with noise and in some cases links to nefarious
sites in their profiles.
I'd be willing to donate the time to delete all banned accounts, if
I only could.
