Yes, we should be careful, thanks a lot for this hindsight, but giving developers the ability to request for a permission and banning users who click it by accident or doubt is kind of a dick move. Why not remove the permisson and ban the developer instead? To teach people a lesson? Would you like a leash and a whip with that?
I believe that the individual responsible for these bans should be transferred as punishment: working on the weird photo editor in PowerPoint, or the msvc++ compiler.
