Sure. That could be a solution. I still see some valid reasons as to why a user would like to be able to request a permaban.
1. European citizens are protected by law from local and foreign companies abusing our private information. GDPR gives us the right to know what data these companies store, what they use it for, and how we delete it. VGC letting Europeans create profiles without complying with GDPR could theoretically lead to fines if reported.
2. Being freed from the temptation to log in and waste time trying to school a random troll that doesn't even want to face reality anyway as he deliberately chooses the comfortness of living in an ecochamber.
3. Giving other users the opportunity to see that you're banned and must be contacted through other networks. As it is now, you can have a bunch of messages from people thinking you're still active on the site.
Permabans were a thing in the past. Why did it make sense then but not now?
