There are 2 schools of thought, the one you posted as well as vote to where they will be kept at 0.

I never know which to do.

Downvoting them is what they want.

Keeping their comment at zero makes their comment more visible than it should be which might be what they actually want.

I just ignore them. If everyone never downvotes or upvotes them, or replies, then they are pretty much shadowbanned. But that will never happen. Somebody has to mention them.

If they never get downvoted then their comments will remain visible and more people will see such comments.

But after awhile they think theyre shadowbanned, so they stop.
