"Status quo" ban? Discussion needs to come before any sort of banning. Otherwise, in accordance with the procedures, someone could say that I was in an edit war with an article I made one comment about to someone and reverted their edit (I'd be the one initiating it, of course, because I could have just let his edit go), and then, while you're considering the evidence, I'd be banned. That would be an extreme case, and you'd probably change the rules somewhat if it came to that, but I really think that this is a bad idea in general to ban someone while the decision is pending.
