I thought Crowd Control just collapsed comments. That won't help me with the 50 new accounts that jerk I banned just made.

Right. I understand that. The problem for reddit is that karma and age gates have the undesirable by product of also ensnaring new users which then deters those new users from future participation in the sub. That's not something they really like which is understandable if you see it from their perspective.
I think their thought process essentially boils down to they would prefer if you crowd control a thread/sub and then out right ban any users instead of using automod's various methods of user control. And they'll let their ban evasion tool do the rest.
