Don't follow. A community ban holds only when it is effectively unanimous,

So I understand... if twelve admins say, User:X is community banned, but one
admin says, "No, he's really a nice guy, for reasons A, B, C, I'm
unblocking," and does... he can overrule them all?
Yes, but such actions depend on the user you unblocked acting different. You may have to
block them again yourself. Unblocking in such circumstances implies a duty to monitor. See
my actions with respect to Alkalada
