Downzapping reduces the reach of a post and users who have lots of outlawed content have heavily reduced visibility on their future posts. That sort of seems like what you want.
I don't think reducing their trust score would reduce their reach, at least not directly. What trust does is affect their ability to influence the visibility of other posts.
I share your desire to only wield these powers against bots and intentional scammers.
