The former. We don't have a "ban account" feature, and I read-or-at-least-skim all comments on the entire site anyway.
Well, looking at the banned comments from Will's user page it certainly seems that you're not limiting yourself to silly comments.
Yes, I actually noticed that my favourite comment on this entire thread seems to have been banned (for being made by Will). This is disappointing but something I can accept if it is part of the price of also getting rid of the actually disruptive anti-social contributions.
I didn't personally ban them all.
I had to go back and reread this to really understand the implications. Suddenly it's much clearer to me why you and other moderators care so much about keeping Recent Comments clean and want features like the troll feeding fee. Low quality comments, no matter in what thread, impact your experience much more than mine.
(Not to imply that reading many threads, or Recent Comments, is something only done by moderators.)
How? Through the RSS feed?
Through the Recent Comments pages.
The 'Recent Comments' text is a link. Wow. Never noticed that. Thanks.
