So on the topic of unfair bans and the new system, here is a useful way for you to both improve transparency and figure out for yourself if the new system is working.
Post a list of comments which were [dead]ed under the new system but would not have been [dead]ed under the old system.
If the list contains a bunch of comments like "u r a gay homoz", you'll make a pretty convincing case (both to yourself and everyone else) that the new system is awesome. If the list contains a bunch of "I'm concerned about the security implications of ordinary users putting significant money into bitcoin..." then maybe the new system isn't so awesome.
[edit: I realize it's probably too late for this to be seen, perils of posting from IST.]
