one single person shouldn't be in charge of deciding who's a troll and who isn't.

There are several moderators, I don't think Eliezer is the most active.

Now that everyone knows that downvotes can cause a person to lose their ability to comment (I assume that's what "ban" means, could be wrong though)

It doesn't, "ban" just means the comment is hidden.

I agree that there are downsides, they just don't seem that terrible..

I am aware of this, but Eliezer came off as being particularly invested in personally combating people whom he perceives as trolls.

Ah, I stand corrected then, thanks for the info.

What about the never-ending meta discussions, or are you counting on those dying down soon? Because I wouldn't, unless the new policy is either dropped, or an extensive purge of the commentariat is carried out.
