I think the problem with this is that, if the community had its way, a 
lot of the best contributors would be banned if they were unpopular.  A 
site in which all unpopular users are banned is not really a wiki.  I'm 
personally quite glad that Wik was not banned the numerous times his 
case was brought up (until the last time, of course), and wouldn't want 
things to work otherwise.

Perhaps you have a different type of site in mind?
