That's good for vandals, but what about problem users. For things like strange edits (eg Nuuk/Godthab), and users that have made POV changes, as well as other things.
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.
