Mmhmm. 40+ years of online communities and nobody has figured it out at scale yet? Maybe because there will always be assholes.

It's less resource intensive to tolerate a certain amount of assholery, rather than rule with an iron fist to the detriment of everyone else (false positives, reporting-system abuse, etc).

That's where my suggestion above comes from, a realist perspective. Go ahead and ask the mods here how difficult it is to effect the "change" you've invoked.
