I agree that the ban vote is a bad idea. If you want to make your opinion known of someone, rate the user. If you have problem with what they posted, report it. A vote button to ban someone where the admin's have the final say, invites trouble. It gives the appearance that the community has the say so or influence on whether to ban someone. If admin's happen to disagree with the majority, that invites discord between forum community and it's administrators.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
