A "ban" option when deleting an entry for a community sounds good. Not only is it useful, but it's consistant with being able to ban someone from commenting when you delete a comment. And consistancy=good!

"delete entry" and "ban" when commenting though? Thats way stretching it. There is not natural progression that goes comment->delete->ban. That may be the process you happen to take, but deleting and banning isn't something that naturally comes out of commenting the wya that banning may naturally come out of deleting.

That's just what I wanted to say. I agree that adding the button to Delete+Ban is a good idea. But not comment+delete+ban.

Agree, as I suspect deletions would happen all too often by accident.

i've halfway developed a couple greasemonkey scripts that could assist in this process.

the process would be like this:
  • leave comment on the entry that is in wrong place.
  • edit the entry.
the first greasemonkey script creates a link at the bottom that links to the console and sends a GET parameter along with it. the GET parameter is ?commands=ban_set [username] from [community] with the proper usernames in place.
  • you open the console page in a new tab.
the second greasemonkey script gets the GET and inserts the command into the .

there is an optional additional parameter (&execute=1) that can be switched on in the first script to tell the console script to submit the form once the command is loaded into the
