When it comes to these kinds of things, the yard stick I use is: would I object if PMYB2s were to be replaced with Lev Bronstein himself the next day, and all these new powers were given to him?
It seems the problem is faggots and their alts abusing the voting system, correct? So how about a system that can be implemented site wide, and doesn't require any intervention on behalf of the mods.
This can be anything from the way voat goes about it with a minimum score, to weighted downvotes (new accounts ~0), or even limit downvotes based on content or words submitted (1 post = 1 downvote, 100 words = 1 downvote, etc.). Anything would be better than what you're doing now because what you're doing now is too much effort and not scalable.
