And the reason we do this is because that offensive content should be permanently archived. There needs to be an original copy of whatever was said. It's too easy for users to edit or delete the vitriol they post and make a stink about not doing anything wrong. Archiving and future proofing for potential arguments could save so much trouble. Reddit should focus on replacing everything mods do outside the site with built-in features. If it archived the original content through the ban function somehow, we wouldn't have to do things like quote the nasty content with their username, or screenshot, which I often feel the need to do to shut down trolls and let them know we have their number.
