Maybe because Members talk to us?
There is a lot of talk about only a "vocal minority" disagreeing with the bans and speaking up against them. Similarly, however, these "Members" that have come to you complaining/reporting about the players that ended up banned are also a (different) vocal minority.
In the end, the admins would have to weigh one vocal minority's opinion against another's to see whether the presence of certain players has a positive or negative impact on the server as a whole. I can't imagine that being very feasible, and it'd be almost impossible to value each opinion equally and not let bias seep into the admin team's decisionmaking.
Compared to that, it seems simpler and fairer to ban players according to the rules instead.
