There's no real deterrent there when the only risk is being cut off.

Obvouisly this wouldnt be the case with all offenders but to have a blacklist accross the board would be more of a deterrent I think and be a more reasonable punishment for the crime in the first place.
Same thing happens with airlines - you get caught causing a disturbance on a flight, and the airline you are flying with will refuse to carry you, and inform all other airlines on the route you have been denied passage and the reasons why.
