None ever considered banned argument important or none ever forwarded
the banned argument?

I suspect that once/if we have easier banning rules, more people will
feel compelled to circumvent them. In fact, even with the existing
rules, IETF participants have faked e-mail, subscribed to the list
with more than one name, and done other terrible things (as privately
confirmed by a senior IETFer who was working on formalizing the
banning process).

IMO, this means that "easy" rules should be nearly perfect or should
not be.
