I think this would actually work, if there were a lot of people, and you could only ban, say, 1 person every hour. No chance for someone to have a bad day and wipe the whole board, and and plenty of time for retaliation. All you need to do to survive is make a couple of friends to back you up, and you'd be safe, as anyone who tried to ban you would find themselves gone in short order.
This will not work, however, if, like I said, some one can have a bad day and just ban everyone. The speed at which this could happen is the major difference between the real world and this.
I'd be very interested to see how this pans out. I can imagine groups of people banding together for protection, maybe group rivalries, even wars. Sign me up.
