That's exactly what hellbanning does. It enforces the no-feeding-the-trolls rule. You can't keep a conversation alive with a troll if the troll is hellbanned. The site ignores them for you.
yes but hellbanned guy does not know it, which makes it completely different.
The "government" is not acting transparently here, so it's not democratic.
Anyway, my proposition is not applicable to most situations, it's just an ideal one.
