Yes, this policy decision doesn’t happen to be one sided. What you describe seems to be a comparatively rare event though. If you actually want to get better, you’ll have opportunities other than particularly downvoted blunders to seek feedback, and there is an obvious solution of making a non-downvoted separate comment that asks for feedback in such cases, so that said feedback would not be punished.
If I’m hearing you correctly, the plan to limit trolls is push them to make fewer posts inside the auto-hidden areas and more posts outside of the auto-hidden areas?
Well, uh, I suppose that’s one way to deal with trolls.
But if saying something and creating a separate comment to ask for feedback would become accepatable, the trolls will create even more visible noise before they get into obviously malicious territory.

The idea is that they’ll make fewer posts if the non-trolls don’t respond.
