It wouldn't be banning power, just an auto-delete. I don't think we need community feedback to autodelete posts from bots. They should be banned, but we can't ban them, so it would delete the posts that they make based on their username; and the username would be chosen by an admin. It has the same potential to be abused as any mechanism to ban someone within Postmill's code, but it seems simpler to me to write a bot than attempt to write a shadow-banning mechanism into Postmill.
