There's certainly a sense of justice for the people in the city
whose laws were violated and who enacted the ban. Even if the PKer
isn't particularly inconvenienced by having a single city declare
him persona non grata, at least that city no longer has to worry
about him causing further grief in their territory. If the city has
a treaty with other communities whereby bans are enforced
throughout, then justice gets even more teeth.
In the end, the system functions as a form of access control as much
as a form of justice. Access control is a concept central to any
security system, yet is curiously lacking at the community level in
many MUDs, which may explain why community members don't experience
any sense of security.
