I think you need to make some distinctions. It should be:
1. Using channels not intended for feedback. If someone posts a congressman's public email address and a bunch of people email him because they're upset about an upcoming bill then that's not harassment. That's just a lot of people using a public communication for its purpose.
2. Excessive/Following. If someone tells me to go kill myself in one comment that's not harassment. That's just being a dick. If they message me every day or follow me into other subs to say that then that's a different story.
3. If you're banning a sub rather than a user for this then there should be evidence that the sub's moderators are either encouraging or refusing to try to prevent the harassment. And in the case of prevention the admins need to try to work with the mods first because they have access to data the mods don't. Many mods may not be aware of the level of harassment because they can't see private messages or how users get to a sub.
There's nothing here!
