I've banned a sum total of one (real) user during my eight years on the form, and that was a religious fanatic who wanted to sue me and makehuman for "furthering a homosexual transgender agenda" (it seems our greatest offense was having a slider from female to male rather than an either/or selection). Spammers are usually bots though, so I don't consider blocking those banning a real user.
I don't believe banning and censorship are helpful in most scenarios, as such actions tend to escalate conflicts and make the setting more hostile. But sometimes when things get really out of hand it's unavoidable.
Anyway, that's off topic.
Concerning moving from "high quality" to "community favorite": that would make it easier to use the tag on stuff such as efficient low poly clothes and educational demonstration pieces too, and not only stuff which is made for detailed twelve-hour cycles renders.
I have only used it on spammers but will issue warnings and suspensions as need to keep the forum at least civil as I have on an other forum where I am senior administrator and tagged the Shepherd that's with the Vegastrike space sim game.
