The_donald had pretty heinous mods.

Some pretty heinous members too as I recall.

Seems to me a simple fix for that would be, he more the mods abuse the ban hammer, the shorter he bans are. Problem solves itself.

Yeah I mean it was pretty much the whole community but the mods existed to shield their worst members.
