You're right- it does say it should be able to ban Jimbo. Not likely to
happen.

At first read, I thought it said, "The
mediation
panel should be able to recommend a ban on Jimbo."
That might be wishful thinking, but at least we can
set this as one of the finite limits-- "No bans on the
guy who owns the servers and the domain names."

I like the idea of mediation by a select group of
users, as well as
empowering these users, if the user-in-question
does not change their
behavior, to orchestrate bans.
Simply making strange edits is not an offence. Even
POV changes are not
in theselves offences. How a person goes about
doing these things is
much more important.
The mediation panel should be able to recommend a
ban to Jimbo or a
delegated person. That recommendation could also
include a length of
time for the ban. If they become involved directly
in the ban
themselves it could compromise their objectivity.
