Democracy and fairness is something I support in every social interaction. Abuse of authority can only happen when people believe that they're powerless to fight it. How would you feel if the functionality of a more mainstream torrent client was altered in a future release, and instead of the admins of your favorite tracker being smart and recognizing the problem, using a temporary ban until the problem was fixed, they made a blanket ban (with no intention of removing the ban!) and treated everyone who used the client as a hacker and a cheater?
