1. per-article bans

Definitely. Some people are only problematic on a very few articles,
and even more commonly some people are problematic only primarily
because of their vast amounts of free time. We can handle non-neutral
content from non-belligerent participants, but it's difficult to handle
a veritable flood of it across hundreds of pages and thousands of edits,
which is what leads to exasperated people just reverting anything from
that person rather than tediously salvaging and rewording it.
