Slowban or errorban?

Just to put the Discourse position out there. We have no plans in the foreseeable future to build slowban, errorban, hellban, disemvowling, automated retaliatory DoS attacks, downloadfloodban, bitcoinban and any other retaliatory features into the core product. We also have no plans to build plugins around this area. This kind of stuff would have to be in a third party plugin.
