I don't know if this really helps. Suppose a user is too much for the team, and we push him into the "writeoff" category. Now what? We can't ban him - he's not violating rules, and the majority of his contributions are neutral or positive. We can't ignore him entirely - if we don't fix a large minority of his contributions they'll have a negative impact on the site. I think this is good advice in general for "iffy" users, but doesn't help much for users who most of all need more rate-limiting.

@FraidyCat if your site rules allow a user to consistently be a negative impact on the site, you should consider and potentially lobby for revising your site rules. Otherwise you have no reason to complain. A site which basically says "do whatever you want" basically invalidates this entire question, which presupposes there is some desired action. If the site community and technical mechanisms aren't setup for this you are going to have significant problems.
