Meanwhile that person is still on the boards trolling away with members getting more & more annoyed that nothing has been done about this person.
It's unworkable.
We're here to make judgement calls, sometimes we get them wrong. I get what you are saying but I think your solution is far too much work and over complex for something that isn't a huge problem to begin with.

I agree with your point about smaller disciplinary actions like 1 day bans. It's not really needed for that. Mods are chosen, as you say, because the other mods believe in their ability to use their judgment. I'm only suggesting it for more important cases which happen less frequently. Less frequently now than ever, I suspect, as there currently seems to be fewer troublesome elements on the site than I can ever remember.
As a side note, mods could also vote to ban people off the site regardless to whether or not they've done anything wrong to deserve it. It could be useful for getting rid of people like Coryallen and The Virgin quicker. When here, it's like you can see that sooner or later that they have to go as their presence on the site is disturbing to all, but noone wants to be the person responsible for getting rid of them when they're not breaking the rules per se. That could be less of a problem with such a system.
