We can monitor it and bail out of the experiment quickly if we find
that it's out of control. But it might help a lot.
I'm fine with it, though I think perhaps there should be more stringent
thresholds---a quick poll done with a handful of users and a moderate
threshold is fine for a 24-hour ban, but if it's going to be a longer
ban perhaps it should be a 2/3 or 3/4 threshold and some minimum number
of votes?
