I think James has it right. Allow subscribers (of which I'm not one) to click a button on troll posts. When it hits a limit it is chucked into the posting bin where the interested can still go and browse if they wish but no one is likely to bother.

If you want it slightly more complicated turn it into a threshold troll limited thing so you only ditch trolls if it gets enough troll votes.

You might even leave a little note in place of it saying comment moved to troll bin with 99 votes from subscribers. That must be as complicated as you get. The other concerns from /. readers are all valid.
