Discord's description: “Allows banning members.”
If the bot's token leaks
A leaked token can mass-ban the community, and bans must be undone one by one.
Affected by server 2FA
In servers that require two-factor authentication for moderation, this permission only works if the bot owner's account (or the team owner) has 2FA enabled.
