I believe the idea is that people get in by invitation; if a member ends up being a problem (i.e. gets down-voted too often or something) then not only are they booted but so is the person who invited them.
This being the case, people need to exercise some care before sending an invite since that person's behavior will be reflected back on them.
It's an interesting approach to growing a community.

I understand why this was put in place there but that's the reason I don't really invite others. I have no way of knowing whether he or she will be down-voted.
Still, it's better to get kicked out and know that, than being shadow-banned and not knowing what attracted that.
I actually bookmarked your post on vi mode in bash a couple of months ago. That'll do as proof you're worthy. :-)
My email address is listed in my profile. Ping me for an invite.
