Is it possible to implement that a user will be automatically banned if he gets a certain number of negatives votes in a certain period of time?

Not a coder but I imagine that that should be possible. It would be an event that would fire off on any negative votes. You would want to make sure that there was a check to make sure that all the negative votes weren't coming from the same person though or perhaps use badges to guide whether or not it was vindication.

You would also want a global setting somewhere nice and easy to locate.

I really need to get my hand into django to contribute back into this awesome project.

Yes, it could be coded; no, AIUI it's not in the code currently.

Are you really sure you want to do it? It looks like it could be open to abuse. Mightn't it be better to have a feature that sent an email to admin / moderators if such voting patterns took place, alerting them to the abnormal voting patterns: it might just as well be the voter(s), as the recipient of the votes, who need banning.
