That sounds like a good idea, however, there is the potential problem of small groups of sysops acting togehter on everything, small cabals, if you like. Happens inevitably, and can start quite innocently by people starting ask those with whom they get along, say in the chat, or a mailing list.
Alex is right. If I were to want to ban someone for borderline reasons, I'd know right off the bat where to turn for co-operation. We all do. If I were to want to unban someone for borderline reasons, I'd also know right off the bat where to turn.
Of course with quickpolls, there is nothing to stop people from campaigning for their desired result as well. But at least *anyone* can get involved, rather than a quiet-behind-the-scenes decision made and implemented by a small group.
