But the point people have been trying to make here is that that's not how a community ban works. A community ban isn't "a block by decision of the community"; it's "a block the community doesn't oppose".
Then, I'll say it again - the Community Noticeboard loses significant power if this is a persistent belief. The rules have changed, one could say.

The CN is still there so people can check if someone opposes a block. The
board isn't supposed to have power. If an editor is willing to unblock someone, they're technically not community banned anymore, but they'd better be willing to take the heat if the action results in problems on the unblocked user's part.
