All the proposals for codes of conduct that I have seen so far mention 
banning only as a last resort and have several less drastic measures 
that should be applied before. Also, the point of having a neutral third 
party decide on the issue, rather than people directly involved in the 
conflict should result in that third party deciding on the measurements 
to be taken, not any victims of harassment, harm, or whatever.
