> Shouldn't crimes be tried in courts and not online petitions?
Criminal punishments are imposed by courts. Things that may arguably be crimes can also have non-criminal consequences.
> Does a majority of users get to decide if you've done something wrong enough to disqualify you from a board?
No, usually that's the existing board that has that authority.
Users, individually, get to decide if the company has done something (including, inter alia, appointing you to the board) that makes them unwilling to do business with the company.
