You don't need a hack for that. That's what User Forum Permissions are for.
I don't agree with users being able to ban from threads. They're not staff and you can't trust who will use the feature maturely. It should be a staff only option.
I did test this back when it came out and I was running vB 3.5. Moderators can thread ban but only in forums they're assigned to. I believe the conditional is "canmoderate" and I like it that way. A different conditional would need to be used to allow users to ban from own threads and it's not worth it in my mind.
I can't use this plugin at the moment though because I'm running vB 3.6.
