Already happens on net-joins :)

While the notice is better than nothing, is it the best solution?
Otherwise trying to rectify the situation (by removing the redundant
ban) involves:
1) A (user-level) race-condition;
2) A delay in making the ban, which is usually being made on a
"DO IT NOW!" basis.
