Deleting votes by banned users and/or deleted accounts

The content for our wikidot instance is entirely vote-dependent, but we have the occasional user who deletes their account, or users who downvote everything they can out of spite just before they're banned.

If there's any way for admins and/or mods to remove upvotes by members that shouldn't have their votes count, I'd love to hear about it. And if there isn't, I would plead for a mechanism to enable this.

Could we get a Wikidot reply to this one?

Response from RobElliott:

I suspect the voting system is not that sophisticated and would need to be re-written to link it to whether a user is banned or deleted. I can't really see that happening.

Edit: Not TerQ. My bad.

Upvoted. I think a lot of Wikidot sites - especially the SCP Foundation - need this "update".

This may be off-topic, but I got permabanned from the SCP Foundation last June. I am going to appeal this upcoming June, and it would be nice if all of my votes can be removed so I can have a “fresh start!” After getting unbanned on appeal, I plan to re-create my account under a name that is more SCP-themed (like Dr. B or something like that).
