Yea, I'm late coming to this topic. Whatever.
Banning by ID is definitely not right. Most people agree.
It is true, though, that most of the people with lower IDs have been around the forums and community longer than people with IDs 1000+. That means that most of the lower IDs know when to draw the line between funny and stupid. Newer members may not know or may just be confused.
So, banning just by ID is wrong, but banning by stupidity is somewhat connected to IDs.
Thats my opinion, anyways.
