Bad idea as this would raise the moderation burden substantially, especially if people wanted to nitpick/debate each banning they didn't understand. It might work for a small, low-traffic forum, but I can't see it working here without a lot of extra effort. And what's the reward? More off-topic discussion? And more opportunity for trolls to waste the mods' time?
I'd only consider implementing something like this if we charged a subscription fee to access the forums and trimmed the membership substantially, so we could have some form of two-way accountability and abuse would be less likely.
Would you be willing to pay a membership fee to access the forums in order to implement greater accountability standards?
