Current situation: A small amount of users annoy the lot of us, we have no power to ban them, mods are annoyed.

Official solution: Go into Gallery mode, so all users can view, only users with explicit write permissions can write. This has the problem of approving users. We don't want to manually approve nearly everyone just to disapprove a small number.

Wayward solution: Use Gallery mode with the bot. When a user enters the room, the bot grants him write access automatically. If the user already has the access, the write access request will just send back a 400 error. No biggie. As it's automatic, the transition is nearly seamless. If a user is banned, the bot won't grant him write access.
