On a forum with a working downvote mechanism, deleting non-spam or non-basilisks is indefensible. Another reason why LW should have an public censorship policy.
The problem is downvoting fatigue when someone posts multiple troll comments. I support banhammering all of a user's posts when they're all being downvoted and are all clearly not suited to LW.
You could just banhammer the user and leave the posts be.
We currently don't have a button for that.
That would seem then to be the most obvious convenient fix- make it possible to ban people without deleting comments. Or even better, have a button which bans them and deletes all comments that don't have replies. That way the only comments removed are those which didn't have any discussion associated with them.
Another fix would be to have comments by users with sufficiently negative karma hidden by default.
"Repeat troll offenders' comments will be treated as spam and deleted."
How's that for a policy?
I wouldn't say indefensible. Possibly unnecessary though.
I do have to say it was gratifying for me (the target of some of the comments) to see them downvoted so quickly. :)
