It's not just the ban that's wrong, it's the fact that the ban gets recorded in the logs. If multiple users start requesting bans from chat so they can edit, it floods the chat ban logs with useless records. This is why chat mods shouldn't be banning and unbanning users for the fun of it; when someone wants to check the logs for who actually got banned because they needed to get banned, it becomes a lot more difficult.
