This is part of the result I'm looking for. We'd only have to then
make an unrelated mechanism (like an abuse form) that would request
removal if we wished to do that.

The problem I see is that on a highly focused instance, tools better
than mysql commands are needed to quickly react to community
management. Shutting someone up quickly without kicking them out, is
something I want to see.  I like the idea even better if people can
remain subscribed to them.

I'd caution against "easy to implement" as opposed to "flexible for the future".
