It looks like that idea has already been replaced with hiding subthreads rooted on comments that are -3 or lower from recent and top comments.
I like the idea of hiding bad subthreads, but wish it's a manual moderator action instead of based on votes. A lot of discussions that descend from downvoted comments are perfectly fine and do not need to be hidden.
I don't think that's a good idea. What if its a non-troll user who just made a bad comment? They wouldn't be able to come back and admit their mistake or clarify their argument. An actual troll on the other hand could just make a new account and keep going in that thread.
A trivial low-cost solution, roundly ignored by EY and the rest of the forum management.

If you want to try harder at this "ramming", you could follow the link I posted above and present your idea there as a comment. :)
Done.
