Some people want centrally enforced ideological litmus tests, and some don't.
Scales linearly. Click <ignore>, and they're gone, for everyone who doesn't want to see them. Nothing could be simpler. An order of magnitude (or two) less sound and fury than we've spent on Eugine.
The entire point is that we can and should do a lot better than O(n).
We haven't. To quote myself:
The recent ban was executed through administrative action. That's O(1), albeit apparently with a high constant factor if Kaj's posts are to be trusted. There's been a lot of drama surrounding it, but that doesn't have anything to do with scalability.
(Personally, I'd say most of the drama has to do with preexisting cultural and administrative issues that this has dragged squirming into the light, and takes the late unpleasantness as a proximate rather than an ultimate cause, but we may reasonably disagree on that point.)
