No. Don't crowdsource moderation. There's enough situations with people trying to use the mod to aid their win condition as things are.

This too

Crazy suggestion: if you don't want to play with someone don't join games that they are in.

Let's say someone is obviously town but pushing on scum in an obnoxious way. Scum can then all gang up on them and say "oh the way this guy is playing is awful let's remove them" and claim it was for their actions when they really just wanted to get rid of a threatening player.

Is there an issue with mods failing to force replace people that they ought to? Definitely. As a mod you really don't want to force replace a player. But this is not how you go about solving the problem.

Replacements exist. Replacements can be players you don't want to play with.
this issue is better solved by game mods doing a better job of not forcing players to play in situations that are toxic to them
